September 18, 2024,Klingelbachschlucht – Der "triefende" Stein Runde von Triefenstein

From the beginning: If you arrive by car, you have a parking problem!
I took photos in the monastery garden and it was made clear to me in an unfriendly manner that visitors are not welcome here. Private property!
About the tour: We didn't bother with the detour around the monastery.
The dripping stone wasn't dripping, but it's worth seeing. …

Today, on a slightly rainy day, we were in Lengfurt (Spessart). The first part of the tour went past small gorges on natural paths. The Klingelsbachgeabenschlucht is small but beautiful and worth seeing. During the later ascent, there were difficulties due to fallen trees that made the path impassable. An alternative route had to be chosen. The way back towards …

June 28, 2022,vom Triefenstein zur Klingelbachschlucht und noch etwas dem Main entlang

The second hike today went to the other side of the Main after work. The Klingelbach Gorge is more for experienced hikers. The Komoot paths do not match reality at all, so please be careful when hiking. But worth it!

July 2, 2023,Wanderung zum Triefensteiner Wasserfall und alter Steinbrücke(Spessart)🏞🌊🌉

Today we went to the Triefensteiner waterfall with a bit of scrambling. The beautiful view with waterfall and old stone bridge was mesmerizing.

The original path was supposed to lead us over the old stone bridge up to the waterfall. However, this path is closed. For a good reason.Danger to life.
A small detour via a forest path led us …
