Hollow Way to Sölchesweiher

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Coming from Bad Orb, a deeply cut ravine is passed here, which leads straight down to Sölchesweiher, a particularly secluded spot below the Markberg.

June 26, 2022,Wanderung des Turnverein 1868 e.V. Bad Orb
Today there was another hike for my gymnastics club 1868 e.V. Bad Orb. Our hiking guide Dieter Reehe had again prepared a nice round.

From the small hiking car park on the Spessarthöhenstrasse on the Wegscheide we set off first in the direction of Burgjosser Heiligen. Then continue along the donkey trail via the Hohes Kreuz and Markberg hiking car …

Since I had an appointment in Bad Orb today at 5 p.m., I quickly walked a trail there beforehand. I hadn't even found this on my "tracks planned list" and only discovered it by accident.
Now to the track: 🥱 well, only the section at the Sölchesweiher was interesting. The paths were easy to walk on. In the end there …

The track consists of 4 different sections of the path, which, apart from the path to the Sölchesweiher and the continuing ravine, do not offer much scenic variety, but the Orber Forest simply convinces me without having to do much. Except to exist 😀. So this track does not end up in the upper third of all Spessart tracks, but …

A wonderful tour - completely in the forest with a fantastically beautiful path to the pond. I'm excited

After lunch, we tackled this Spessart trail.
The partly winding and overgrown (hollow) paths also make it ideal for hiking in summer.
Here and there, memories of my hike along the Spessartbogen in 2022, which runs partly parallel here, came back.
Recommendation!

A route that is well suited for a spontaneous Sunday afternoon tour. Lots of evening primroses are currently growing along the first stretch of forest. If they bloom soon, it will certainly look beautiful. You also have a wide view of Alsberg! The tour then continues over the Spessart arch. Through an idyllic ravine we reach the Sölchesweiher, which is …

Relaxed 🥾🎒🔃 lap to run out after yesterday's spectacular stadium ride⚽...
The highlight is definitely the middle section with winding forest paths, a pond with a rest area and a ravine, regardless of whether you go to the right or left!
Nice little short circuit to enjoy with lots of shade, also interesting for families with children👍
stay wanderful 😎✌🏽
