Kummersklinge 3D Archery Course
The Kummersklinge archery course is located in the middle of the Odenwald and was opened in December 2018. It is operated by the Kummersklinge Archery Club.
The course leads along a beautiful low mountain stream through mixed and coniferous forests and has 31 stations. The mossy rock formations on the course are unique in the region and make the course very attractive. Especially on the descent to the second half of the course, the terrain is somewhat reminiscent of Tyrol. The course of the circular route can be described as demanding and sturdy shoes are an absolute must.
In addition to the 31 regular stations, there is the opportunity for traditional archers to face a special challenge of 29 extremely tricky shots at pink hares of also pink stakes with the “pink rabbit hunt”.
For zeroing, there is a spacious shooting range with targets at distances of 10 to 40 m and a large number of 3D animals. The shooting range can also be used independently of the course.
Registration and Course Use
Registration for the course takes place directly at the registration desk at the hut. There are enough registration forms, which must be thrown into a slot together with the course fee after completion. The registration is based on trust. In addition, each shooter must register in the shooting book and confirm leaving after finishing the course.
If you would like to shoot at the Kummersklinge 3D Archery Course, you must have your own archery equipment or at least bring one with you, as there is no bow rental on site. However, there are several archery shops in our region who offer bow rental.

For a 3.5 to 4 km long lap on the course, about 2 to 4 hours must be planned.
The terrain is located in a mixed and coniferous forest and the route, which is laid out as a horizontal figure-eight , is sometimes very demanding, as it leads, among other things, into a narrow blade (valley) down to the stream. A good level of fitness is advantageous.
