Forest hike with a view from the Buchbergturm Those who love extensive forest hikes will get their money's worth on this tour. The highlight is the ascent of the Buchberg, a spur of the Spessart. In good weather, you will be rewarded with a great view from the Buchbergturm as far as Frankfurt. In the Bulauer Forest, there is also a romantic monastery ruin to discover, and the old town of Niederrodenbach is waiting to be explored. We therefore recommend planning a whole day for this tour.

    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!

    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.

    Die Strecke ist super geeignet für kalte Wintertage, an denen man nicht so weit und nicht zu anstrengend laufen möchte. Und die zugefrorenen Seen sind absolut sehenswert. Mir hats gut gefallen
