Nibelungenstrasse
The Nibelungenstrasse is a German holiday route through the Odenwald between the Upper Rhine Plain and the Main Valley . It is part of the federal highway 47 .
It leads around 110 km from Worms over the Rhine , crosses the mountain road near Bensheim , leads through the middle Odenwald to Miltenberg and then follows the Main valley up to Wertheim . The term Nibelungenstraße appeared for the first time in 1839 with the expansion of the line from Bensheim to Lautertal . At that time this was an important contribution to the improvement of the infrastructure of the front Odenwald .
marketing
The Nibelungen-Siegfried-Strasse working group , which was founded in 1989 and in which 22 larger and smaller communities have come together to form a committed cooperation, is responsible for marketing this street . The main objective is to promote tourism in the towns and communities working together on the Nibelungenstrasse and Siegfriedstrasse holiday routes . In 1990 they advertised with a joint brochure and in 1992 the road signs were tackled.
From 2002 iron sculptures by the Winningen artist Jens Nettlich were placed along Nibelungenstrasse and Siegfriedstrasse . These show scenes from the Nibelungenlied.
