History and Fantasy - see, learn, experience
A hiking trail that combines many things, you have to hike it.
A trail that allows you to experience the history of our region from different eras.
A trail that takes you into the legendary world of the Nibelungs and the still missing treasure.
A trail that challenges even expert treasure hunters via GPS multicache (Fantasy 1 passive and Fantasy 2 active).
A path lined with many stones. The red sandstone has been a characteristic building and design element of our region for thousands of years.
A path that also teaches trail labelling and signposting for hiking trails.
A trail that simply lets you experience nature and our beautiful homeland.
A hiking day on a hiking trail for all the senses that lets your imagination fly: see - experience - enjoy.
The trail is fully signposted, which was installed together with pupils from Bürgstadt secondary school and is also maintained by the school class.
The sandstone sculptures on the Nibelungen saga were created by a class from Miltenberg secondary school under the guidance of master sculptor Alexander Schwarz.
A geocache is integrated into the youth hiking trail. This geocache can be searched for without a GPS device: The aim is to find nautical signs that make up a solution word. The first sign is directly on the youth hiking sign, all other signs are always on the back of the respective tree with a hiking sign. Each symbol makes up one letter of the solution word.
Further information on the OWK Miltenberg geocaches can be found at www.owk-miltenberg.de.
