It is limited in the south by that Odenwald Neckar Valley, to the west of the Mountain road roughly along a line from Heidelberg to Weinheim. The limit to the Front Odenwald runs roughly over Weinheim and Lindenfels to Miltenberg. In the east that forms Building land the limit which is roughly from Mosbach above Book runs to the Main.
