February 8, 2025,Spessartspur „Wettgeser Steinches-Spur und Sälzerwasser-Runde" #23

With our breakfast and hiking visit we completed this Spessart trail today.

It should mainly take place in fields and meadows and not in the forest much. It should also have little elevation and a distance of < 10 km.

All of this fits well with this route☺️

A new Spessart track that was quite nice to walk on today's Good Friday.
However, a tour that is not necessarily worth repeating.
The tour has a relatively large number of asphalt and gravel parts. The middle part in particular is mainly laid out on cycle paths. From the Sangesmühle, where there is also one (on the cycle path) of …

Due to its quasi-experimental routing, the Wettgeser Spessartspur is somewhat unusual. However, for my taste, with the exception of the Sangmühle, it has relatively little to offer. I don't think it's that bad that you walk part of the trail twice, but it wasn't exciting. The circumnavigation of the "Steinche" didn't really take me with it either, despite the nice …

March 9, 2025,Spessartspur: "Wettgeser Steinches-Spur" & "Sälzerwasser-Runde"

There should be a lot of sun and a wide view today. That's why I decided on this tour. Since the tour is partly on the well-developed cycle paths in the Vogelsberg, there was actually more going on than I expected. Away from the paved paths, however, it was absolutely quiet. The "Sälzerwasser-Runde" part runs along cycle paths and fields …

The northernmost two tracks left today in the deepest gray and wet (from below) but then it got light and I met the very nice and personable Nicole🥾, it was just wonderful. Thanks for chatting 🙂👍

Two Spessart trails begin at the village community center. The Wettges Steinches Trail circles the 466-meter-high local mountain, the "Steinches," and offers charming views of the Vogelsberg landscape. The Wettges Sälzerwasser Loop also starts at the community center. This circular hike follows a delightful route through meadows, fields, and forest, both outward and back. The Sangmühle mill is a particularly …
