At the entrance to Ober Mossau, visitors can take a brewery tour at Schmucker Brewery. Hiking and cycling are activities in the wider Mossautal destination, where marked circular hiking trails and a variety of cycling routes are available. These are two distinct focuses for planning your trip: a specific brewery visit in Ober Mossau and activities in the larger destination.

The brewery’s operations may change, so check the current conditions before your visit. If you are interested in breweries, you can plan the tour as a specific reason to visit.
Hiking in the Wider Mossautal Destination
In the wider Mossautal destination, three long valleys, flowering meadows, and extensive beech and mixed forests shape the hiking landscape. The trails alternate between cool stretches through the forest, clearings, and views into the valleys. Four marked Drachenwege circular hikes are named Fafnir, Dorn, Triumphalis, and Saphira. They are 15 to 19 kilometers long, suitable for day hikes, and connected to the Alemannenweg and the Nibelungensteig. When choosing a day hike, the circular route format and length are concrete points of comparison; you can also consider the changing landscapes and the connections to the Alemannenweg and Nibelungensteig. Check trail conditions and markings before setting out. There is a four-kilometer difference between the shortest and longest Drachenwege. This range helps you compare the four circular hikes by distance; at the same time, all are classed as day hikes, so distance and day-hike format remain two separate points of reference.
Cycling in the Wider Mossautal Destination
In the Odenwald around Mossautal, cycling options range from relatively flat routes along the valley floors to more challenging tours by touring bike and mountain bike. High-level routes offer panoramic views; surfaces and conditions may vary. This gives you different criteria to consider: valley-floor routes are relatively flat, more challenging tours involve a different level of exertion, and high-level routes add panoramic views to the decision. While a route distance is given for the Drachenwege, cycling options are differentiated by terrain, difficulty, and bike type. Choose according to the criteria that matter for your planned ride.
More Activities in the Wider Mossautal Destination
The wider Mossautal destination also offers various horse-riding opportunities for children. Güttersbach outdoor swimming pool has a children’s splash pool with a water mushroom, as well as a beach volleyball court, a boules court, and a table-tennis table. The riding opportunities and splash pool are explicitly aimed at children; beach volleyball, boules, and table tennis are other sports and recreational options at the pool.
If several themes matter to you, setting a priority—such as the tour, a day hike, or a particular cycling profile—can help you make your search more specific.
