    Heute bin ich dem 'roten Schmetterling' in Wenighösbach gefolgt. Im Uhrzeigersinn ab Gasthaus Ochse. Die Beschilderung ist gut, die Wegbeschaffenheit unterschiedlich (keine klassischen Trails/Trampelpfade). Die Stelen bieten interessante Informationen und hier & da gibts nen schönen Ausblick. Perfekt für Gassirunden, da man immerwieder an den Bächen vorbeikommt. Erreichbar vom Wanderparkplatz nahe des Gasthauses oder mitm Bus 7/21 ab AB-Hbf. Btw. ist in der hiesigen Datei ein kleiner Fehler... wenn man in den Ort reinkommt, gabelt die Beschilderung nicht nach rechts, sondern erstmal links an der Ortsstraße entlang bis man die Haltestelle Kirchplatz passiert hat: https://willkommen.spessart-mainland.de/de/spessart-mainland/terminal/detail/Tour/E357B363BB3C54ABA8584C7D9D165BCA/wenigh-sbach-naturparkweg-schmetterling

    Schöne Rundtour mit einigen schönen Aussichten. An warmen, sonnigen Tagen fehlt der Schatten, wodurch die Strecke an kühlen, aber sonnigen Frühjahrs- und Herbsttagen interessant wird.

    Schöne Wanderung vor der Haustüre. Weg sehr gut ausgeschildert. Einkehr ist ab Rothenbuch nur bei der Wahlfahrtskirche möglich. Die Wege sind super teils Naturlfade, Forstwege und teilweise Asphalt. Ist alles dabei und ein guter Mix

    Sehr schöne Tour. Highlight war für mich der "alte Schulweg" von der Geisshöhe runter. Hat mich als Anfänger doch ganz schon herausgefordert, war aber machbar. Bin kaum jemanden auf der Runde begegnet, trotz Samstag und bestem Wetter. Die Rundtour mache ich bestimmt irgendwann wieder.

    Schöne Landschaft hauptsächlich auf Forstwegen. Die Abfahrt von der Gaishöhe ist ein toller Singletrail mit vielen Blöcken und Stufen (S1 und S2). Die GPS-Spur ist für Turn-by-Turn Navigation wenig geeignet - leider wurde bei allen relevanten Abzweigungen erst der falsche Weg befahren, wodurch die App verwirrende Anweisungen gibt.
