June 27, 2021,🌲👣🌳 Spessartfährte - "Vorderspessartblick Horbach"
Today my wife and I 🥾🎒 took 😉 the 2nd-shortest Spessart track in the open court
We also really liked this because it is very varied 👍🏻


First it goes through a beautiful, shady forest (at the beginning along a small brook) 🌳🥰🌲 - after a short time you come to the Horbach Marian Grotto, which is absolutely worth seeing …

Today we walked the beautiful Spessart trail between Horbach and Waldrode in beautiful sunshine. In addition, we have included a detour to the vending machine in Waldrode. This is well suited for a break including food.

Get out again today before the bad weather comes 😁
Since I decided spontaneously, I didn't want to go that far, so it was my turn to track in Horbach today. Although I grew up here and run here 2-3 times a year when I visit my parents, there were even new prospects for me 🤗
Just in time for …

...we start the new hiking year with a Spessart trail 🥾☀️😎
which we, however, went the other way around.


From the parking lot 🅿️ at the gondola pond, the tour took us past the "Mariengrotte" which lies above the Wiesental, a retreat with a special magic. I like this place.

But what the forest workers have done with the machines have,...left to nature there is nothing. Unfortunately, as is so often the case …

A truly beautiful, varied tour with fantastic views, ending with a wonderfully maintained Kneipp pool. Spessart, I'll be back! And this is what the Spessart hiking guide says: It's inconspicuous, yet despite its moderate height, it wants to make a big splash: the mountain ridge that stretches east of the resort town of Freigericht-Horbach, around which the Spessartbogen extra tour …

Nice easy tour to do for everyone, great views when the weather is nice

As I drove into the parking lot, I knew we'd hiked there before. A day hike in August 2021, with the addition of the Rodfeld Tower and the adjacent Fernblick Restaurant.
Today, on Mother's Day, which I consider completely unnecessary, four of us 🚺 and three 🐕 went on this beautiful hike. It was totally worth it.
To finish off, …
