Hiking

This trail leads through the Schlüchtern Basin – a gently rolling, open landscape between the Spessart, Vogelsberg, and Rhön mountains, formed by the Muschelkalk Sea around 210 million years ago. Numerous orchid species thrive on the calcareous soil; with a bit of luck, you might spot them along the Spessart…

View Over the Kinzig Valley Towards Weiperzberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the hill above Sterbfritz you can get a good view of the Kinzig valley. To the south you can also see the Weiperzberg (known as a nature reserve with nutrient-poor grassland plant communities).

Kinzig Spring

Highlight • River

Everything has to start small. The Kinzig River meanders for almost 90 kilometers before flowing into the Main River near Hanau-Kesselstadt. The extensive valley it has carved out between the …

December 10, 2022,Spessartfährte "Quellwinkel Kinzig" #1

Link to my collection "Spessartfährten":
komoot.com/de-de/collection/1881273/-spessartfaehrten

As is often the case with me, today after breakfast I spontaneously decided to go on a little tour. The choice fell on the Spessartfährte "Quellwinkel Kinzig". The Spessartfährten are circular hiking trails along the premium hiking trail "Spessartbogen", which I hiked in the summer of 2022.
The round started and ended for me …

Actually, today I had adjusted to sun 🌞 and snow ⛄ - well, 10 minutes of sunshine and higher, a little snow that was it, at least it wasn't a mud fight today🤪. The paths were all easy to walk on, mostly gravel paths. A small section (Kinzigquelle) is already on my "🏰Ramholz / Kinzigquelle💧" tour in summer

April 13, 2024,Wanderung "Quellwinkel Kinzig" Spessartfährte

A very beautiful, varied circular hike around the Kinzigtal towns of Sterbfritz and
Weiperz. Always with a great view of the valley and sometimes as far as the Rhön. 👍
Along the route there are 3 very nice rest areas where you can have a snack and linger. 🤗
Good signage and, with a few exceptions (due to the long …

Now I only need 2 Spessart trails. Then I'll have walked them all. 😎
Unfortunately, this was the weakest one so far and I only liked it semi-well. It started with the fact that the start is indicated online at the Kinzigquelle and you are also navigated there. On site, however, this turns out to be wrong. According to the …

May 5, 2025,Vor der Haustür: "Quellwinkel Kinzig" Spessartfährte

We live in a beautiful area. Sandra and I agree, and we experienced that again on today's tour.
At 6°C, it was too cold for us to cycle this morning, so we put on our hiking gear and set off on the Spessart trail. After about 6 km, at the old sports field in Weiperz, the sole of my shoe …

March 22, 2022,SPESSARTFÄHRTE "Quellwinkel Kinzig"

The second "Spessart trail" that we got to know today led us to the origin of the Kinzig.
A tour that inspired us, with beautiful natural paths and excellent signage.
Most of the time you walk in the sun ☀️☀️☀️so I wouldn't recommend this tour in midsummer.

September 1, 2021,🌲👣🌳 Spessartfährte - "Quellwinkel Kinzig"

My wife and I still missed this Spessart track in our collection 😊

It is good that it was not sunny all the time, because it is mostly over open fields, which gives you some wonderful views 🤩

There are not that many natural stretches of the trail on this Spessart trail, the proportion of gravel paths is relatively high …

August 8, 2021,🥾Spessartfährte: Quellwinkel Kinzig🎒

This morning we decided to explore the given routes of our homeland a little more. 🥾
Without further ado, I combined the Spessart tracks into a Komoot collection, which we are now gradually hiking through. Our goal is the entire Spessartbogen long-distance hiking trail…. But still takes 😉

Today we started with the Kinzigquellen Spessart track in Sterbfritz.
