A beautiful day tour for the whole family, named after a dragon. The Odenwald has awarded the route with the "Wanderbarer Odenwald" seal of approval; it is marked with the MD2 sign. The trail starts in Hüttenthal; 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 go around and then hike through the forest to Unter-Mossau. You follow the Hiltersklinger Weg through the village and turn left into the forest shortly before you reach Hiltersklingen itself. It goes a bit through the coniferous forest until you come to the place where Siegfried, according to legend, gave his life - you turn left and arrive at the Lindelbrunnen, where there are also benches to rest. This is almost the end of the tour, a little further on you will get back to the starting point. It is recommended to bring sturdy shoes and provisions.
