It leads to chapels and castles, past fields of blueberries and a moor, and through deciduous and coniferous forests as well as to the legendary place where Siegfried, the quintessential Germanic hero, is said to have died.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is where, according to legend, it happened\u2014at this spring near Grasellenbach in the Odenwald. Hagen from Tronje stabbed his rival Siegfried from Xanten, also known as Siegfried the Dragonslayer. At least that\u2019s how the Song of the Nibelungs, which sings of the fate of the Burgundian kings from Worms, recounts it. And that is also how Friederike Preu\u00df tells it upon her arrival here after a short climb through the wet spring forest. The place seems peaceful, despite the bloodthirsty story. It smells of wet spruce needles and moss. The rain from the day before hangs as a mist between the trees. Drops of water splash quietly from the spring. \u201cI really, really like being here,\u201d says the woman with the friendly face and round glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-52.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The actual Siegfriedbrunnen fountain? At least one of the many alleged ones\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And she comes here very often. After all, the place is on one of \u201cher\u201d parts of the trail. Friederike has been a voluntary trail conservationist for the OWK Odenwaldklub forest club for almost 25 years. As such she is responsible for a part of the Nibelungensteig trail. The high-quality hiking trail has led through the Odenwald on natural tracks since 2008. It comprised about 40 kilometres when it was opened as such\u2014from Zwingenberg located on the Hessian part of the Bergstrasse all the way to the Siegfriedbrunnen fountain near Grasellenbach. Another 90 kilometres were added in 2010. Now the trail ends in Freudenberg at the River Main allowing you to hike through the Odenwald along seven sections and some 4,000 metres in altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-37.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A conservationist\u2019s toolset: can of paint and stencils.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Friederike knows all of the sections, even though she has never walked the trail from start to finish. Of course, the trail conservationist is particularly fond of \u201cher\u201d section, which leads from the F\u00fcrth district of Weschnitz to the Olfener Bild, a wayside shrine near the Oberzenter district of Olfen. A blood-red N written on a white background marks the trail here as it does elsewhere along its course\u2014at least when Friederike has done her job well. Once a year, she checks whether the markings are easily recognisable and touches them up if necessary, for example, when a symbol has faded, the bark is flaking off or a tree with a marking has been felled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>She would normally not even set out on the track on a day as wet as today. The weather should be dry the day before marking the trees in order for the paint to stick well, as Friederike explains as she trudges with Simone Paepke from Grasellenbach towards the Siegfriedbrunnen fountain. Simone is head of the Tourist-Information NibelungenLand in the Bergstra\u00dfe administrative district and head of the tourism agency that markets the Nibelungensteig trail. Continuing along the path, Friederike has long taken off her jacket and stowed it in her rucksack. Then she suddenly stops. \u201cThis won\u2019t do,\u201d she says, looking at the red N emblazoned on the trunk of a pine tree. The bark has chipped off, and the painted white background is no longer intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I actually go into the forest every week<\/p><cite>Friederike Preu\u00df<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>She reaches into the blue plastic basket she carries with her, takes out a jar of white paint and a brush. \u201cThe beech is the favourite tree of a trail conservationist,\u201d she says, touching up the marker. \u201cIt\u2019s nice and smooth. You only have to do it every two or three years,\u201d whereas the paint doesn\u2019t even last a year on the brittle bark of the pine. When she puts a new mark on a pine or on a Douglas fir, she first removes loose bark with a three-square file. Beech trees just require treatment with a wire brush. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to damage the tree.\u201d Friederike is responsible for over 100 kilometres of hiking trail. It takes her about three weeks every spring to walk them all and check the markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-62.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Friederike Preu\u00df with Simone Paepke, head of the Tourist-Information NibelungenLand, on their way to the legendary Siegfriedbrunnen fountain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She is happy to invest this time because she loves her volunteer work and the feeling of doing something for the community. A total of about 6,000 kilometres of hiking trails run through the nine trail districts into which the OWK has divided the area between Frankfurt and the Kraichgau. Some 200 trail conservationists maintain them, with most of the volunteers looking after a 20- to 50-kilometre section. Their work is not only of a practical value for all hikers, but it\u2019s also a contribution to nature conservation. \u201cOf course we hope that people stay on the trails so as to not disturb the wildlife much,\u201d she explains. The trail network in the Odenwald has existed since the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. Red and blue signs usually lead from north to south, green and yellow ones from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-50.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Odenwald in this area is truly enchanted and legendary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>40 trail conservationists work to mark some 1,200 kilometres in district number 4, where Friederike\u2019s areas are located. \u201cWe could use a few more,\u201d says the volunteer in charge of the district, who also trains newcomers. She came to her volunteer position through her parents. They took care of the trails around Heppenheim, where Friederike still lives. At the age of 29, she took over her own trails in the \u00dcberwald area of the Odenwald. She likes the region so much that she considered moving here. But commuting every day between the Odenwald and Feudenheim, where she works as a bookseller, was just too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-33.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The signs indicating the way must be clearly visible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Friederike stops once again. A young beech branch has grown in front of a sign. The conservationist pulls out the loppers and tries to cut it as high up as possible. It\u2019s not all too easy when you\u2019re only 1.58 metres tall. She is happy that her boyfriend often accompanies her on the tours. Not only is he a good 20 centimetres taller, but he shares her passion for hiking. Both are actively involved in the local OWK group in Heppenheim. As a certified hiking guide and health hiking guide, Friederike regularly offers tours there. \u201cI actually go into the forest every week,\u201d she explains and adds that she also likes to spend her holidays hiking\u2014this year in the Hunsr\u00fcck Mountains, the Black Forest and the Saxon Switzerland national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-12.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Friederike has stowed the loppers away again and continues on her way along the narrow forest trail. If the weather were better, she would apply the white paint for the background now, and then the red N on the way back. Hikers should see one of the signs about every 350 metres. \u201cIf hikers have walked for five to ten minutes without seeing one, they should turn around,\u201d she explains. An even stricter rule applies for crossroads: \u201cThe sign with an arrow before the crossroads tells you the direction in which you should go; behind the crossroads, another sign confirms that you have actually turned into the right one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-61.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, Friederike paints the red N on a white background at the top position above other signs on the tree. After all the Nibelungensteig is a high-quality hiking trail. As such, it has to fulfil a number of criteria. For example, there is a limit to how much of the trail leads along asphalted paths. Shelters, rest areas, vantage points, bodies of water, restaurants, parking spaces and a connection to public transport are quality features, as she explains. She does not only maintain the trails, she also acts as a surveyor and regularly checks whether or not the high-quality hiking trails in the region still meet these requirements. \u201cThis bit, for example, would be a borderline case,\u201d she says, looking at the gravel-covered ground. You can\u2019t tell whether it was applied or washed up by the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-67.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>On the Nibelungensteig you can explore a variety of flora\u2014and fauna.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Friederike appreciates the variety the Nibelungensteig offers. \u201cYou get to know many different landscapes.\u201d The trail leads from the gentle scenery of the Vorderer Odenwald to the coniferous forests and fields of blueberries in the Hinterer Odenwald and to the valley along the River Main. Apart from the Siegfriedbrunnen fountain, Friederike particularly likes the Rotes Wasser von Olfen, a protected high moor that features reddish water, which lends its name to the nature reserve there. Another one of her favourites is the Walburgiskapelle chapel, which you reach by climbing narrow serpentines. And, of course, there is the wild and romantic Gassbachtal valley, situated just before the Siegfriedbrunnen fountain\u2014or just after it, depending on the direction you have chosen to walk. If you want to hike all of the seven sections of the trail at one time, you should reserve accommodation in the guesthouses or campsites beforehand, because in many places they are few and far between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nibelungensteig-48.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Grasellenbach is an exception though. Lots of opportunities are offered by guesthouses bearing the names of the heroes of the Song of the Nibelungs; regardless of the fact that it is quite disputed whether the spring in the nearby forest is really the \u2018real\u2019 Siegfriedbrunnen fountain. \u201cThis fountain is actually one of the least likely ones to be the fountain in question,\u201d Friederike knows. It\u2019s too far from Worms, which is where the Burgundian kings resided and also where Siegfried\u2019s body was brought, according to the song, in just one night. It is therefore much more likely that the Siegfriedbrunnen fountain in Heppenheim served the author of the song as a model for the scene of the murder instead. \u201cBut hardly anybody knows that one,\u201d says Friederike. And besides, it is not as beautifully situated in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nibelungensteig.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.nibelungensteig.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you want to support and join the volunteers marking the paths, just contact the OWK office at <a href=\"mailto:info@odenwaldklub.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@odenwaldklub.de<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mit 130 Kilometern und 4000 H\u00f6henmetern ist der Nibelungensteig einer der anspruchsvolleren Wege durch den Odenwald.
