Stages of the convertible tour along the Siegfriedstraße

From Worms to Lorsch – History Meets Myth

The journey begins in Worms, where the Siegfriedstraße originates. The Nibelungen city on the Rhine impresses with its Imperial Cathedral, the oldest Jewish community in Europe, and of course the Nibelungen saga, which is deeply rooted here. A stroll through the old town, past the Nibelungen Museum, is a perfect start to this mythologically charged tour.

From Worms, the route continues via Bürstadt to Lorsch. The drive takes you through the Rhine plain, past fields and small villages. In Lorsch, a cultural highlight awaits – the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lorsch Abbey, with its Carolingian gatehouse, is one of the most significant early medieval monuments in Germany.

Through Heppenheim, Fürth, and Grasellenbach into the Odenwald

The next segment leads us through Heppenheim, with its picturesque old town at the edge of the vineyards, into the Odenwald. The road gently ascends, vineyards give way to forests, and the route becomes curvier – perfect for a relaxed convertible tour. Fürth and Grasellenbach are charming stops along the way. The latter is considered a legendary site, as it is said that the dragon slayer Siegfried was killed here in the Nibelungenlied – a monument commemorates this.

The landscape here is perfect for a convertible tour: varied ridges, small clearings, winding roads. Traveling by convertible allows you to experience the authenticity of this region in a particularly intense way.

From Mossautal via Oberzent and Amorbach to Buchen

The drive continues through the lovely Mossautal, past half-timbered farmhouses and green valleys. In Oberzent, the view opens up – the Odenwald's ridges present impressive vistas. The small town is wonderfully secluded but offers everything that convertible travelers seek: tranquility, good roads, and surprising views.

Amorbach enchants with its Baroque splendor and the former Benedictine monastery, before continuing to Buchen. The historic old town is ideal for a break. Half-timbered houses, small cafés, and a touch of Franconian lifestyle make the stop a delight.

Through Walldürn and Tauberbischofsheim to Wertheim

The final stage begins in Walldürn, a significant pilgrimage site that impresses with its basilica. From here, continue through the lovely Taubertal to Tauberbischofsheim – a town that invites you to linger with its winding alleys, well-preserved city walls, and wine taverns.

The crowning conclusion of the convertible route is Wertheim, beautifully situated at the confluence of the Tauber and Main rivers. The majestic castle complex looms over the old town and offers a spectacular view – a worthy conclusion for a convertible tour that is truly an experience both in content and landscape.
