Our Archery Courses
In the Bogenregion Mainfranken/Spessart/Odenwald there are nine 3D archery courses that inspire archers from near and far and offer the ideal conditions for practicing our great sport in nature. The archery courses in our region are all very close to each other and are therefore ideal for club outings, holidays with a bow and for organizing club championships in 3D archery.
You can explore all 3D courses in the Bogenregion Mainfranken/Spessart/Odenwald within one week and expand your experience around shooting in the terrain. In addition, you can simply get in touch with other archers on the courses and exchange ideas.
The Archery Courses of our Region are special!
The courses of the Bogenregion are located in a very scenic area in the border triangle of Bavaria, Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg. A large part of the courses is located in Mainfranken, which offers ideal scenery for the installation of archery courses due to the many river valleys, meadows, hilly areas and forests. Our courses are unique! This makes archery on our courses a very varied, relaxing and natural experience.
Your visit to our 3D Archery Courses
In order to shoot on our archery courses, you basically need your own bow equipment. However, there is also the possibility to rent a bow equipment at different providers/courses or even to take part in an archery course.

Collenberg 3D Archery Course is often referred to by many archers as “the most beautiful archery course in Germany”. With its 33 stations and well over 100 3D animals, this course has been a real visitor magnet for archers from all over Germany and other European countries since 2007. The course in Collenberg is located directly at the Schützenhaus in a valley on the outskirts of Collenberg. It has a very varied terrain with orchards, forest, a small river and two hills in the course. The special thing about the course is the frequent changes of stations and 3D targets that make each visit unique.

The course has 31 stations with around 100 3D animals on a 4.5 km circular route. Due to its location on the ridge of the Henneburg, the course has significant inclines at the beginning over about five stations, but after that it mostly runs quite flat through a high beech forest, through a rustic hazel forest and over extensive meadows.
Kummersklinge 3D Archery Course
The Kummersklinge 3D archery course has 35 stations with about 110 3D targets and is located near the municipality of Gerolzahn, in the middle of the beautiful landscape of the Odenwald. It was opened in December 2018 and runs along a low mountain stream through mixed and coniferous forests. The course is run by the archery club Bogensportverein Kummersklinge e.V., which have lovingly and almost exclusively arranged with groups of animals.
