Felsberg

Felsberg is a mountain summit in the Odenwald with an elevation of about 514 meters and is covered by mixed deciduous forests. The steep slopes of the mountain offer various views across the surrounding landscape.

The mountain played an important role in medieval times as an observation point to monitor trade routes passing through the region. Its elevated position provided good oversight of the surrounding areas.

The hiking trails crossing this mountain are woven into local leisure culture and link different communities together. People in the region walk these paths regularly and have maintained them as a central part of their outdoor traditions.

Marked hiking trails lead upward from a parking area near Reichenbach, with signs indicating distances and elevation changes along the way. Sturdy footwear is recommended and it is wise to check the weather before starting your walk.

Large granite blocks are scattered across the mountain slopes and contain mineral deposits that cause the stone to shift in color depending on the time of day. This geological feature makes each visit different depending on the lighting conditions you encounter.
