But now ....
For Easter Monday 🐣 and at the same time the last day of vacation we made our last open Spessart track. 🥾🎒

Last time we only did half and then stopped.

Today we walked it all the way and it was great.

Great weather, everything is blooming and the tour itself is great 🥰

March spoils us with an incredible 19°C 🌞
How "cool" is that?
You have to make the most of it, for example on a hike on the beautiful Spessart trail "Sonnenhänge Lohrhaupten" 🌞

December 26, 2025,Spessartfährten in Lohrhaupten, wenn die Wanderschuhe die Weihnachtsbilanz korrigieren sollen 🙈

Boxing Day and the bitter truth: the Christmas cookies hadn't provided any energy, but rather a permanent construction project around my waist. To break the holiday lethargy, there was only one solution: backpack on and out onto the Spessart Trail in Lohrhaupten.

16 km – a distance that puts yesterday's feast into perspective.

Finally another nice round with @Bibbi, this time again in Lohrhaupten. Thought through to the end, probably not so much 🙄, because as the name suggests, you can expect a lot of sun on the slopes on this Spessart trail 😏.

February 23, 2025,Sonnenhänge Lohrhaupten ☀️🌤️ - Spessartfährte 7

Spessart again today. But this time really deep inside and not halfway in the Vogelsberg (like last Sunday, or at least it feels like that...😅). I start in Lohrhaupten and, like last Sunday, it goes up a bit steeply 📈. After all, you have to get to the ridge ⛰️... 😉 The ☀️ is still a long way off... until …

Today a tour in the Spessart 😎 We chose one of the Spessart trails... Since the sun ☀️ was supposed to accompany us the whole time today, we chose the sunny slopes of Lohrhaupten 😎🥾
It's really a beautiful tour with short stretches of forest and great views of the valley 😎

This beautiful path starts in Lohrhaupten and, after an initial climb, leads through idyllic forest passages, over the Querberg and the Weicherstaler heights over the sunny slopes. On the way you can enjoy beautiful, sometimes wide views. It goes through the Gelnhäuser valley back to the starting point in Lohrhaupten. Unfortunately, the photos are not in the right order 🤔!
