Fischereihütte Inn Beer Garden

Highlight • Restaurant

Rustic, rustic forestry located in a beautiful meadow about 150 m above 2 fishing lakes.
The fisherman's hut is famous for the dishes with freshly caught Spessart trout. But also non-fish lovers come at the varied menu at their expense.

March 22, 2026,Oberer Aubachsee – Blick auf Heigenbrücken Runde von Heigenbrücken

A very beautiful and varied tour. The Fischerhütte is ideal for a rest and is located approximately in the middle of the tour. But there are also other places to stop for refreshments on the route. The accessibility with public transport is particularly practical, as the tour leads directly past the Heigenbrücken train station.

Excellent tour of the Spessart. Through the Spessartwald on beautiful paths with great views and refreshment stops in all 3 villages. It could only be longer. 😉

I already knew many of the routes on the tour, but the Totenweg and the "Beim Heiligen" shrine were completely new to me and very beautiful 🤩! In the forest today I …

A really particularly beautiful tour from Heigenbrücken.
The mystical atmosphere on the ridges will stay in my memory as well as the deep snow-covered pine forests that appear mysterious in the fog.
The Spessart (Spechtswald) at its best!
