October 3, 2023,Spessartfährte in Lettgenbrunn

Today I got off my ass from breakfast a little earlier, forgot the kids in bed and went on a holiday with my wife. The weather app says it's a good idea not to be out and about for too long.
We drive to Lettgenbrunn and hike a variation of the “Junge Jossa Lettgenbrunn”. Modification with more path along the …

The trail begins in the Jossatal and after an initial climb offers beautiful views of the valley. After a forest passage, you can enjoy further beautiful views to the north on a ridge path above Pfaffenhausen. In the last third of the trail there is a long, very idyllic forest edge situation, which, after another forest crossing, leads to the …

May 20, 2024,49/24 🥾 Spessartfährte "Junge Jossa Lettgenbrunn“

For today, @Bibbi has chosen this beautiful Spessart trail near Lettgenbrunn. The landscape is a dream with many views, especially in this great weather 🤩. A really well-signposted Spessart trail over narrow paths, through flowering meadows, flowering broom in various shades of yellow, along forest edges and through forests. Wonderful 🥰! We walked the path anti-clockwise, however, without noticing it …

beautiful, quiet, forest and meadow hike on pleasant to walk forest and meadow paths. You can also do it at higher temperatures, since the tour mostly runs in the forest or on the edge of the forest. There are enough benches along the way, some with tables.

The exciting Spessart Trail begins in Lettgenbrunn, the source of the Jossa River.

This small town with its eventful past is waiting to be discovered.

What a great day, sun, frosty -1 degrees and a super nice hike 😊

I'm excited, why did I only wait 3/4 years with this track? 🤔 She is definitely the most beautiful (so far) and sells the Lohrhauptener on place 2 😄. Many varied surfaces and great views without end, I would have liked to have taken a photo …

A wonderful hike near Bad Orb. Again and again benches with a great view. Grassy paths alternate with forest paths.

Sabine and I liked it very much.

Here is the link to my "Spessart Trails" collection: komoot.com/de-de/collection/1881273/-spessartfaehrten

I really liked this Spessart trail.
A great mix of dark coniferous forest with soft ground, classic deciduous forest, which was really well sunlit today, and then sections over fields and meadows.
The temperature today was between about 16°C and 23°C, so very good for hiking.
The audio stations are …
