Ludwig-Keller Observation Tower on Geishöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is no view from most of the Spessart elevations, as they are wooded and/or the surroundings are hardly towered over. It's different at the Geißhöhe. The wide plateau is …

October 21, 2023,Spessart: Rund um die Geißhöhe ( bei Eschau)

Wonderful tour from Eschau.
The path led to the Wildenstein castle ruins and further through a lot of beech forest to the Geißhöhe. From the tower you have a wonderful all-round view; even as far as Frankfurt/Main.
We stopped at the inn of the same name. Then we went through sparse forest, always with beautiful views of the surrounding hills, …

The tour continues, still uphill, to Oberwintersbach to the Ludwig Keller Tower. Oberwintersbach is the highest permanently populated place in the Spessart. The …

Today was a tour with obstacles. When we arrived, it was surprising, even for the sat nav, that the A3 was under construction 🛣️ so unfortunately you couldn't get onto the B469. The construction site is so long that when it finally allowed us to turn back, it was no longer worth driving back. So across the Spessart to Eschau …
