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!

    Ein wirklich sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour durch Wald, Randlagen und Feld. Zudem durchgängig sehr gut markiert. Kleines Highlight ist der "Kunst im Wald" Weg mit vielen witzigen Keramikfiguren

    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.
