Campsite at Heuwiese - northern Odenwald
An enclosed meadow near Roßdorf, not far from the forest edge. The hosts plant a few young trees here every year, which are meant to become an orchard someday. Until then, you'll be standing among thin trunks and meadow grass. The view goes towards the Odenwald, to the Otzberg and the vineyards near Groß-Umstadt. Darmstadt is about nine kilometers away. In the evenings, it smells of warm grass. There's no further program.1
What VanSite writes
„Not far from the edge of the forest is our meadow on which we plant a few trees every year to have a beautiful fruit tree population in a few years.“

Sights in the area1
Messel Pit
A former oil shale quarry, now a UNESCO World Heritage site for its fossils from the age after the dinosaurs. The visitor centre works on rainy days too.
Otzberg
A basalt cone topped by a white round tower, the landmark of the front Odenwald. Visible from the meadow; the climb up fills a morning.
Felsenmeer Lautertal
A slope covered in rounded granite boulders that children clamber over until nobody wants to go further. Sturdy shoes help, it gets steeper higher up.
Frankenstein Castle
The ruined castle on the hills south of Darmstadt, known above all for the legends around its name. From the wall the view reaches into the Rhine plain.
