Landscape and activities in Mossautal
The valleys and forests give Mossautal its distinctive landscape. Visitors who like to combine different interests during their stay will find both nature and specific leisure activities in the area. The Schmucker brewery tour includes a beer tasting. The tour can be booked through the Hotelgasthof Schmucker.
There are various riding opportunities for children in Mossautal. Another option is the Güttersbach outdoor swimming pool, which has a children’s paddling pool with a water mushroom, a beach volleyball court, a boules court, and a table tennis table. This gives you the choice of riding, water fun, and various sports and play activities for your travel group.
The Marbach Reservoir is located near the destination. Visitors can take a boat trip there. This offers another waterside outing in addition to the activities in Mossautal.
More excursions in the wider Odenwald destination
The Odenwald also offers ideas for planning excursions beyond the activities in Mossautal itself. Breuberg Castle has a history spanning more than 850 years and is one of the largest and best-preserved castles in southern Germany. The Breuberg Museum is housed in the castle. Visitors interested in architecture and regional history can consider both when choosing an excursion.
The Felsenmeer in Lautertal is another Odenwald destination with a long geological history: the processes that formed it began more than 340 million years ago. Remains of Roman stoneworking from the 3rd and 4th centuries give the Felsenmeer additional historical significance. At the Felsenmeer Information Centre, visitors can learn more about its formation, Roman stoneworking, the Siegfried Spring, and the Bergstraße-Odenwald Nature Park. The centre also has a bistro serving regional dishes. Tours and talks can also be booked through the information centre; topics range from geological development and stoneworking to legends, wildlife, and the Felsberg habitat. Check availability if you are planning to attend one of these events.
Neckarsteinach, in the southern Odenwald, offers a different perspective on the region. The town has a five-kilometre, car-free riverside promenade with signposted hiking and cycling trails. During the summer months, boats operated by the Weiße Flotte also run regularly between Heidelberg and Neckarsteinach. As this is a seasonal service, it is a good idea to check the timetable when planning your visit.
