A beautiful day tour for the whole family, named after a dragon. The Odenwald has awarded the route the "Wanderbarer Odenwald" seal of approval; it is marked with the MD2 sign. It starts in Hüttenthal, where you can park at the Mossautalhalle. You walk along the road for a while and can stock up on provisions at the Hüttenthal dairy. You follow the Marbach to the reservoir, which you walk round and then through the forest to Unter-Mossau. Follow the Hiltersklinger Weg through the village and turn left into the forest shortly before reaching Hiltersklingen itself. You walk through the coniferous forest for a while until you reach the place where, according to legend, Siegfried lost his life - you turn left and reach the Lindelbrunnen fountain, where there are also benches to rest on. This is almost the end of the walk, and a short distance further on you reach the starting point. It is recommended that you bring sturdy shoes and provisions.
