Bungalow in Waldbrunn

Waldbrunn

View German

No minimum supply of salt, pepper, oil. No dish towels, no dishcloth, no dish soap, and most seriously: no internet/Wi-Fi, although stated in the description. One is supposed to stay at the reception, where there is Wi-Fi. No recommendation from my side.

Bungalow in Waldbrunn

Waldbrunn

View German

The houses are typical 70s, but we liked it as a group of friends. Especially for this price. The satellite TV did not work and there is also no WiFi (the WiFi mentioned in the description is only available at the reception). The TV itself was smart and has HDMI (from Samsung), so Android devices can mirror screen. The cottage has 1 bedroom with 2 single beds and 1 bedroom with 3 single beds and 2 mattresses in the attic belonging to the 2nd bedroom. Slept well (end of September), in the summer it could be warm. The kitchen is simple with a filter coffee machine, with all the necessary crockery and cutlery. Furthermore, it is a nice quiet area and the reception was friendly and helpful. You can also order bread rolls at the reception every day (except Sunday).

Which sights are there in Odenwald?

Attractions in Baden-Württemberg

From your private accommodation in a cozy vacation home in nature, embark on a journey of discovery to the historic castles and fortresses in the Odenwald. When sightseeing in Heidelberg, the castle is an absolute highlight. The well-maintained old town invites you to a relaxed stroll with its many small alleys and impressive bridges. Take a trip to Frankenstein Castle in Mühltal, to Erbach Castle with its extensive collection of antiques and hunting trophies, and to Fürstenau Castle in Michelstadt near Mossautal. The Fürstenau Castle consists of several buildings in the Renaissance style, forming a charming ensemble with the outer bailey, mill, orangery, and castle garden. Neckarsteinach boasts four castles. One of the most beautiful is the Swallow's Nest, a medieval ruin on a hillside. From your apartment in Grasellenbach, explore tourist natural attractions like the Felsenmeer, the dripstone cave, the low mountain range in general, and the Bergstraße Castle Trail. How about a hike on one of the beautiful hiking trails or a trip to the city?

Highlights for Your Stay in the Odenwald

Use your vacation in your Odenwald apartment in Bensheim, the Neckar Valley, or Darmstadt to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Messel Pit. The Messel Pit is a disused open-pit mine where oil shale was once extracted. The unique quality of the fossils found in the shale layers from the Eocene is unparalleled worldwide. Key finds include several specimens of horse-like Propalaeotherium and Eurohippus, crane birds, insects, and plants. Further archaeological finds can be admired in the English Garden at Eulbach. Here, finds from the Roman era from the surrounding area have been collected and integrated into a harmonious park ensemble. The park was established in the 19th century. For pure relaxation, visit the Odenwald Therme in the thermal spa town of Bad König. The healing thermal water for the pools and treatments comes from an underground source at a depth of 300 meters. Every year, just in time for Halloween, a large festival with costumes and music takes place at Frankenstein Castle. It is the largest Halloween festival in Germany. Those interested in dragons and other mythical creatures will find the Dragon Museum in Lindenfels to be a great destination.

Where can I eat out in Odenwald?

Enjoying Odenwald Specialties

The cuisine in Hesse is characterized by regional products. Don't miss the fine apple wine and try the delicious cooked cheese and hand cheese, often served with onions. Whether you cook in your vacation accommodation or visit local eateries or those in the old town, the lovingly prepared baked goods, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables from the surrounding farms promise perfect enjoyment. Hearty sausage and smoked ham are part of a delicious butcher's platter. The hunts provide game meat from deer, stag, and wild boar. Along the hikes by the Neckar and in the city, you'll find inviting beer gardens, country inns, and bakeries with catering. Perhaps early in the morning, the scent of freshly baked bread will waft into your bedroom - then quickly head to the baker and set the breakfast table!

What is a must-see in Odenwald?

Odenwald Art and Culture

In addition to the many interesting attractions, from your quiet vacation home or apartment in the Neckar Valley or near the city, you can visit numerous cultural events and exhibitions. In the Rhine-Neckar district, there are many religious institutions and churches open to visitors. Visit Amorbach Abbey, Ulrich's Church in Neckargemünd, the pilgrimage basilica in Walldürn, or the Heiligenberg Monastery ruins. In Heidelberg, you'll find the Kurpfälzisches Museum with an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, crafts, and textiles, and the Ethnographic Museum in the historic rooms of the Palais Weimar. For a trip back to ancient times, visit the Roman Museum in Ostburken. Here, you'll see artifacts and reconstructed buildings collected from the Baden Limes area. There is a fort and a camp village with dwellings, temples, and bathhouses. Modern art is offered by the galleries in the city. The Heidelberg Castle Festival takes place every summer as an open-air theater with performances of plays, opera, dance theater, and concerts. A curiosity is the small stage "Patat" in Michelstadt. Here, a cellar was quickly converted into a stage and celebrates great success with cabaret, comedy, and other performances. Experience local festivals at the Buchen Carnival, the Winzerfest in Groß-Umstadt, and the Erbach Meadow Market.

How do I come to Odenwald-Forest?

Arrival at Your Vacation Rental in the Odenwald

For your vacation in an apartment in the Odenwald, a low mountain range in southern Hesse, you can comfortably travel by car, train, bus, or plane. You can reach your private accommodation by car via the A3, A6, or A81 highways and continue via the regional roads. The Odenwald covers a fairly large area, and depending on the location of the vacation home, it may be convenient to travel via Mannheim, Darmstadt, Heilbronn, or Würzburg.
