Camping in the Odenwald means a pure nature holiday. The gently rolling low mountain range landscape in south-west Germany is criss-crossed by lush pastures, dense forests and clear streams. The region covers parts of southern Hesse, Baden and Lower Franconia and is a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers. On the picturesque paths of the Odenwald, it is not uncommon to pass romantic castles, defiant fortresses and remnants of Roman history. The regional cuisine is also worth discovering.
The Odenwald is considered a motorhome-friendly region. Pitches for your temporary home can be found in almost every town and municipality. There are also six themed motorhome routes that lead to castles, palaces and monasteries, take in the former Roman border wall Limes or head for picturesque half-timbered towns.
The campsites in the Odenwald are all characterised by their peaceful location in the countryside. Most of them, including the camping park in Hirschhorn in Hesse and the tipi camp in Haßmersheim, are located directly on the banks of the Neckar. The campsites in Binau and Neckargerach are recommended for canoeing enthusiasts.

The Odenwald touches. In the north, it merges into the Rhine-Main region with the Messel hills and the Gross-Umstadt wine island, while in the south it embraces the picturesque Neckar valley. To the east, the Odenwald borders the Main valley, to the west it protects the Bergstrasse from cold easterly winds and meets the Rhine plain.
The scenically diverse region is easily accessible by motorhome or caravan. If you take Beerfelden in the heart of the Odenwald as a point of orientation, Munich is around 355 kilometres away. From there, the A8 and A81 motorways and the B27, B37 and B45 trunk roads lead to your destination. The Wunnenstein-Ost service station, which is open around the clock, is recommended for a refuelling stop.
From Hanover, almost 420 km away, you can reach the Odenwald via the A7 and A66 motorways. From the Ruhr area, the region can be reached via the A3 and A45 motorways. From Leipzig, take the A9 and A70 motorways. The B3 federal motorway, which begins in the north in the Buxtehude district of Övelgönne, ends in Weil am Rhein in southern Baden and runs along the western slope of the Odenwald through the wine-growing areas of the Bergstrasse, is attractive in places.
Between the Rhine, Main and Neckar rivers, the Odenwald offers a number of small towns full of charm and history that are well worth discovering.
Michelstadt is one of the oldest settlements in the Odenwald. Its old town with its many winding alleyways, quaint half-timbered houses and the impressive historic town hall dating back to 1484 is a real gem.
In addition to inviting cafés and small shops, there are other interesting sights to discover. These include an early medieval castle complex known as the Kellerei, which now houses the Odenwald and Toy Museum, as well as the Carolingian Einhardsbasilika in the Steinbach district.
Fürth is the highest municipality in the wide Weschnitz valley. The state-recognised resort is particularly well-known for the detailed Odenwald model railway world, which is the largest H0 show layout in southern Germany with over 9,000 m of track.
An experience for young and old alike is a visit to the Fürth Mountain Animal Park, where dwarf goats, yaks, alpacas and various other mountain animals can be marvelled at and fed. The Walburgis Chapel, situated on a hill, is a place of inner contemplation.
The baroque town of Amorbach in the Bavarian Odenwald is surrounded by mighty mountain ranges, dense mixed forests and mottled sandstone. The medieval Templar house and the town's Benedictine abbey with its rococo-style monastery church and famous baroque organ from the Sulzbach Stumm workshop are well worth a visit.
Interesting excursion destinations include the town of Walldürn, famous for its pilgrimage to the Walldürn Miracle of Blood, Hirschhorn on the River Steinach, the beautiful municipality of Fischbachtal, the village of Schlierbach with the Nibelungensteig trail and Markt Kirchzell with the Bergstrasse-Odenwald Geo-Nature Park.
Active recreation comes almost automatically when camping in the Odenwald. The region - a UNESCO Global Geopark since 2015 - delights sports enthusiasts and culture vultures alike.
The most famous hiking trail in the Odenwald is the Nibelungensteig, which stretches 130 kilometres from Zwingenberg on the Bergstraße to Freudenberg on the Main. On the trail of the Germanic legendary hero Siegfried the Dragonslayer, you can discover countless picture-book panoramas. The Odenwald also boasts 60 designated quality circular hiking trails and interesting themed trails such as the Hammelbach sound trail or a pilgrimage trail. Nine of them are located in the Odenwald.
In addition to picturesque hiking routes, the Odenwald also offers signposted cycle paths and almost 40 varied mountain bike trails, which are sometimes challenging, sometimes enjoyable. Golf enthusiasts can choose between nine courses in the midst of a picturesque natural landscape, including the 18-hole courses in Brombachtal and Amorbach. If you like, take a horse riding excursion or a leisurely covered wagon ride.
There are numerous castles and palaces in the Odenwald. These include the monumental mountain fortress of Dilsberg, Auerbach Castle on the Bergstrasse with views over the Rhine plain and Frankenstein Castle, which is famous for its Halloween festival. Lovers of mythical creatures are drawn to the German Dragon Museum not far from the medieval hilltop castle of Lindenfels. The count's collections at Erbach Castle are also well worth a visit.
The landscape of the Odenwald is characterised by orchards and herb-rich pastures. Apples play an important culinary role in the region, as they are pressed into wines, turned into sparkling wine and distilled into delicious schnapps. Odenwald pasture lamb specialities are also on the menu in the inns. Homemade sausages and cooked cheese are also available in cosy farm shops.
Char and trout swim in the streams of the Odenwald and are served in different variations - smoked or as a roulade. In spring, strawberries and asparagus from regional cultivation are a must. Numerous slaughter festivals and themed events such as the annual Green Spelt Weeks in July or the Odenwald Game Weeks in autumn attract culinary explorers from near and far.
Due to the different altitudes, the climate in the Odenwald is not uniform and there are recognisable differences in temperature. While spring begins to awaken on the climatically mild Bergstrasse, it can still be quite cold in the heart of the Odenwald. From mid-March to around mid-May, the region's orchards are in full bloom, while in the summer months of June to August, with average maximum temperatures of around 22 degrees Celsius, the Odenwald's outdoor pools, lakes and forest swimming pools invite you to take a dip in the refreshing water. The Odenwald is also attractive for winter campers. Ski lifts in places like Beerfelden and Mosbach, various cross-country ski trails and wide toboggan slopes guarantee pure enjoyment of nature when it snows.
