Geography

The nature park is located in the north of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in the administrative districts of Rhine-Neckar-Kreis and Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis.

It encompasses the wooded low mountain range landscape of the Odenwald with the bordering landscapes of Bergstrasse in the west, Bauland in the east, Kraichgau in the south and the Neckar valley.

The diversity of the landscape also translates into geological diversity, where we can observe granite formations (Odenwald and Bergstraße), sandstone formations (Rear Odenwald, Maly and partially Kraichgau) and limestone formations (Kraichgau and Bauland), as well as the visible activity of volcanoes from 65 million years ago (Katzenbuckel).

The 1:50,000 scale hiking map of the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park in the southwest and southeast, published by the Baden-Württemberg State Surveying Office, for example, provides a detailed presentation.
