Highlights

  • On premium trails through the Spessart Nature Park: Immerse yourself in the unspoilt nature of this region, which literally casts its spell over you. The magnificent hiking trails and our carefully designed route guidance ensure a hiking experience in a class of its own.
  • Picturesque castles and parks: Whether the Henneburg, Johannisburg Castle or Mespelbrunn Castle - the imposing grounds bear witness to the historical importance of the region. Incidentally, the German film "Das Wirtshaus im Spessart" was filmed in Mespelbrunn moated castle, among other places.
  • Franconian hospitality and regional delicacies: Ever heard of "Blauen Zipfel" and "Bocksbeutel"? If not: these two things make a first-class combination that you should not miss - along with the other Franconian delicacies! Be sure to stop off at the numerous pubs, wine taverns and vesper stations. Incidentally, on the Geißhöhe already mentioned, there is a pub that has been family-owned for over 200 years and offers regional classics.
  • Enchanting half-timbered houses and medieval monasteries: Franconia has many special features, and the special architecture is certainly one of them. The neat half-timbering gives the villages their unique charm.
  • Pristine hiking trails through colourful deciduous forests: Nature paints unique pictures here. Among other things, the background to the Räuberland is interesting: at the end of the 18th century, many of the inhabitants of this region lived in poverty, which led to the formation of robber gangs. The forest in its density and darkness offered them the perfect hiding place.

    Hotel choices were great, walking routes were challenging at times due to gain in elevation but what goes up must come down so that helped! Beautiful to experience the peace and tranquility of the countryside.

    Highly recommend this trip. The days can be long but the views are worth it. Most of the route is paved so you can probably get away with hiking shoes or trail running shoes. There is luggage transfer available but I didn't need it. The route from Unken to Waidring could be updated but I was able to find an alternate route with the map. Before you start you're given the full itinerary with a navigation system on the app as well as paper copies of everything.

    Well organized, no hiccups, beautiful scenery, good exercise (!), great hotels. I've enjoyed the trip quite a lot, there's nothing much to add here, really. One minor thing is that there was a bus pickup location specified towards the end of one of the hikes, it would've been nice to get picked up given you're in unfamiliar territory rather than fumbling your way around and hoping you get on the right bus and go where you're supposed to.
