Many consider the fairytale-esque Odenwald to be located in Hesse. This is of course, true. However, a large part of this idyllic and wooded mountain range lies in the state of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. There, where the Neckar glides past the vineyards and the wooded hills join in unison, a small adventure land awaits that lures you into the heart of nature. Here are three tips for visiting the Odenwald in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking in the Odenwald Nature Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Neckartal-Odenwald nature park<\/a><\/strong> north of Eberbach, nature lovers can expect an idyll on over 150,000 hectares that is second to none. When hiking through the dense forest, you repeatedly cross wonderful meadows of wild flowers; small streams framed by ferns, moss and even historical Limes from the Roman era. Thanks to diverse fauna, the Odenwald has been mostly spared from the mischief of bark beetles, compared to other parts of Europe, where the beetles have been up to much mischief in recent years, destroying entire stretches of land. Unfortunately, even here, the forest is more and more at risk from climate change and the bark beetle is also a well-known problem that is being tackled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But life is still blooming in the Odenwald, thanks to the work of the nature park. Kerstin Pohl works as a project manager for the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park and is responsible for the fairly new trekking camps. She says that wolves are also spotted here again, from time to time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
