Amorbach Waldromantikweg aka. A9

From the old town car park, head north past the statue of Saint Nepomuk over the Billbach bridge. After the bridge, the path turns right. Information boards of the Geo-Nature Park Bergstraße-Odenwald provide information about remarkable small treasures made of red Buntsandstein along the path. Follow the Buntsandsteinweg along the brook until you finally reach a barbecue hut in the Albert-Anlage. Now take serpentine paths up the Sommerberg. Along the way, you pass the viewpoint with the mushroom erected by the Odenwaldklub as well as the romantically babbling Amelsquelle. The serpentine paths merge into a hiking trail that leads past the Warzenstein to the idyllic village of Neudorf. Before the village entrance, turn left onto a small avenue where you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view into the Bavarian and Baden Odenwald and a picnic area. Once again immersed in the dense mixed forests, you will soon reach a shelter hut called the Fuß-Pils-Hütte. Here, turn right onto a small path that leads above the Rheuenthal through a dense forest of Douglas fir and spruce to the Sattelhütte. Here you can enjoy another breathtaking view of the baroque town of Amorbach. Then continue to the Gotthardsberg. The impressive Gotthardsruine is the highlight of the hike. It is worth climbing the narrow spiral staircase inside the church up to the roof and enjoying the unique view. On the south side, follow the small path which leads back down to Gotthardsstraße. Following this, after a few hundred meters, you will see the starting point of the hike, the large old town car park.

Sturdy footwear is required.

From Aschaffenburg via the B 469, from Michelstadt via the B 47. At the town entrance, turn left at the traffic light intersection into Weilbacher Straße. Immediately after the railway crossing, turn right into Dr. F. A. Freundt-Straße, where the large old town car park is located on the left.
