Maps and trails
Geographically, Sailauf lies at the foot of the Spessart, a beautiful low mountain range with dense forests and numerous hiking trails. The town itself stretches along the banks of the Main River and offers a breathtaking view of the river.

Sailauf is known for its historic old town with its well-preserved 17th century half-timbered houses. A special highlight are the two churches of St. Laurentius and St. Sebastianus as well as Johannisburg Castle in the nearby town of Aschaffenburg.

Visitors will also find cultural highlights in the Fechenbach Castle Museum or at various concerts and theatre performances in Sailauf's town hall.

Those who like to be active can go hiking, cycling or canoeing here - the months of May to September are particularly recommended. Sports enthusiasts can also improve their skills by playing golf or show off their tennis skills.

Sailauf also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Typical dishes such as roast pork with dumplings or fresh asparagus are served here - and a glass of regional white wine from Franconia is an excellent accompaniment.

If it rains, there are also plenty of options: A cosy coffee break in a traditional café or a sightseeing tour through one of the museums will not leave you bored.

It is especially beautiful in Sailauf in spring, when nature awakens and everything begins to blossom. But autumn also has its charm: the leaves turn colourful and invite you to go for long walks.

Overall, Sailauf is definitely worth a trip - here, every visitor will find just the right thing for an unforgettable stay!

    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 Roundtour zum Engländer. Um nicht nur im Wald zu laufen, habe ich mich unterwegs entschieden von Eichenberg einen Abstecher nach Sommerkahl mit einzubauen. Belohnt mit toller Aussicht, führt der weg von Sommerkahl, entlang am Fischteich, über einen steilen Anstieg hoch zum Engländer. Von hier an geht es auf der geplanten Route zurück nach Sailauf.

    Die Farben im Herbst sind einfach fantastisch. Leider mit der Handycam nicht so gut einzufangen....
