Odin Sculpture: Guardian of the Forest
Discover the majestic Odin Sculpture near Miltenberg, a captivating blend of Norse mythology, art, and nature along the scenic '3 im Wald' hiking trail in the Odenwald forest.
Nestled in the woods near Miltenberg, the Odin Sculpture is a striking wooden artwork depicting the Norse god Odin. Carved by local artist Friedrich Schöffler, the sculpture is part of the '3 im Wald' (3 in the Forest) experience trail, which combines nature, art, and hiking. The imposing figure of Odin, chief of the gods in Norse mythology, stands as a silent guardian amidst the trees, offering visitors a unique blend of cultural appreciation and outdoor adventure. The sculpture serves as a reminder of the region's rich history and connection to ancient Germanic traditions, with some believing the Odenwald forest itself is named after Odin.
