Birkenhainer Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Super trail section! Part of Spessartbiken Tour 22 (pretty much at the end of the tour). In some places caution is advised due to the sandy areas.

The Klappermühlchen is just beautiful. It's been around for decades and I've often been there, but for the first time on my bike. Great paths all around.

May 12, 2025,Spessart - Buchberg Trails
Constant gentle ups and downs with many great S0-S1 trails on sandy (Alzenau) or clayey (Rodenbach) surfaces. A fantastic and varied trail area.

Variant based on the Tour T24.001 (komoot.de/tour/1412769925) with actually a few new paths and many well-known trails. Electric today, because too much time was wasted in the morning, or the servers were secured against intruders, which is not unimportant.

Get on the bike a little earlier today - than usual on Sundays - and take advantage of the bearable temperatures before breakfast. I had already saved the Oberrodenbach trail circuit from Harpo from September 3rd, 2022 in mid-September and wanted to tackle it today, since the relatively large proportion of forest is an advantage in this weather.
