At the northern edge of the Spessart lies the municipality of Linsengericht with its 5 districts and about 10,000 inhabitants. The 4 Linsengericht circular hiking trails RWL 1–4 lead through an old cultural landscape and locally supplement the premium trail Spessartbogen. While RWL 1, with about 20 km, passes all districts and offers a relaxed full-day tour, the circular hiking trails RWL 2–4, with about 7–10 km, are rather short routes.

It is inconspicuous, but despite its moderate height it aims to make a big impression: the mountain ridge stretching east of the recreational area Freigericht - Horbach, around which the extra route of the Spessartbogen winds over 9.9 km. With its unforested slopes and peaks, the near-natural idyll, and one of the most extensive views of the western Spessart over Frei- and Linsengericht as well as across the Kinzig valley, out to the Wetterau and Vogelsberg. The Spessartfährte offers a varied program to get to know the Spessartbogen. Even inexperienced hikers can master this Spessartfährte – the route length and ascents are manageable.

    Schöne abwechslungsreiche Wanderung mit tollem Fernblick! Die Bodenbeschaffenheit und der Weg sind gut beschrieben worden. Am Krötenteich stehen jetzt allerdings Schilder - Angeln und Baden verboten. Mit meinem Track kamen wir auf 6,4 km und 145 Höhenmeter aufwärts und abwärts.

    Der Zuweg vom Bahnhof Schlüchtern zum Start des spessartbogens ist wie der weitere Verlauf absolut vorbildlich beschildert!! Hier kann nichts schiefgehen. Die erste Hälfte bis Bad Orb hat mir super gefallen. Vor allem, weil es viele weiche Pfade waren. In Bad Orb hab ich mir die Saline (sehr beeindruckend) angeschaut. Die zweite Hälfte bis Langenselbold hat mir nicht ganz so gut gefallen, da es hier dann doch leider viele Wege gab, die mit Schotter zugeschüttet wurden. Sehr sehr schade!!!!!!!!!!! Ansonsten aber wirklich sehr schön mit vielen Highlights!

    Habe die Wanderung an einer der heißesten Tage des Jahres gemacht. Insofern super, dass es fast ausschließlich durch den Wald geht. Am Start reichlich Parkplätze, die Strecke ist gut zu finden. Man sollte den Aussichtsturm am Ende unbedingt mitnehmen, das Lokal sah gut aus, konnte ich aber wg. Geschlossener Gesellschaft nicht testen. Den Punktabzug gibt es, weil ich kein Freund breiter befestigter Waldwege bin und 80% der Tour genau darauf verlaufen. Und zwar obwohl es teilweise fast parallel laufende Alternativen gibt, z.b. im Bereich Blasbalg.

    Bin Freitag Abends in Schlüchtern gestartet und war direkt posotiv überrascht da der Zubringer vom Bahnhof aus schon super gekennzeichnet war. Am Beginn hat man auch gleich die Brücke mit einem schönen Schild mit der Aufschrift Spessartbogen was immer schön ist für ein Bild vor der Tour. Die Kennzeichnung war stehts top und der Weg fürt oft abseits der Forstwege auf Singletrails was mir persönlich super gut gefallen hat. Bin bis Bad Orb gewandert da ich So. Mittags wieder zurück sein mußte über den Zubringe ging es dann nach Wächtersbach zum ZUg auch hier alles top beschildert. Die zeite Hälfte werde ich mal in 2 Wochen in Angriff nehmen denke das sind bestimmt genauso gut wie die erste Hälfte :-). Klare Empfehlung für den Spessartbogen

    Waldreiche Tour und somit auch im Sommer gut zu gehen. Störend waren an dem Tag nur die Stechmücken, da es an dem Tag heiß, schwül und gewittrig war.
