The castle in Rothenbuch is the central starting point for many hiking trails. Highly recommended is the award-winning Christmas market around the castle with craft and regional stands, which transforms Rothenbuch into a fairytale place, especially when it snows.

May 21, 2023,Spessart - Rothenbuch - Räuberpfad durchs Hafenlohrtal

After the Lahn, Palatinate and Rhine, something completely different today.
It shouldn't be too far away and shady, so I chose a FAZ hiking tip...in the Spessart.
As with many FAZ suggestions, there are often wide paths that are easy to walk for everyone. For a long time you only hear the babbling of the stream and the chirping of …

May 1, 2024,Rothenbuch - Räuberpfad "Natur trifft Geschichte"

Today I hiked the circular hiking trail in Rothenbuch "RäuberPFAD - Nature meets history".

Very nice route, a bit too much gravel in places, but the boardwalk in the Hafenlohrtal is included.

One big drawback: the signage is very bad, if I didn't have Komoot, I wouldn't have a chance of walking!

Already planned for Friday, but postponed to today - circular hiking trail: Rothenbuch - RÄUBERpfad "Nature meets history". The path is marked with the signs "RÄUBERpfad" and partly the "Hasenstabweg" as well as "Panoramaweg* Rothenbuch.
@Jule and I set off at around 10:45 a.m. from Maria-Stern-Platz, below the parish church of St. Nikolaus, on the approximately 13 km long circular …

April 7, 2026,Räuberpfad "Natur trifft Geschichte " - 07.04.2026

The first tour of our hiking week in Spessart was the Räuberpfad "Natur trifft Geschichte" in Rothenbuch. Our base camp was the "Zum grünen Baum" in Leidersbach.
The hike started in Rothenbuch at Maria Sternplatz. Next to it is a parking lot where you can park for free. The route is very well signposted.
Initially, it leads through the old …

The Robber's Land is named after Hasenstab, the arch-poacher who was born in Rothenbuch in 1716, declared an outlaw, and shot by a district hunter of the Electorate of Mainz in 1773. He sold what he hunted at markets and to priests, under the watchful eyes of the authorities. This is just one of the stories that tell through this …

June 23, 2024,Bohlensteg – NSG Hafenlohrtal Runde von Rothenbuch

Nice hike, with the stroller there are a few places where you have to lift the stroller over trees etc. There are also a few very steep places.

The hike offers wonderful views

March 27, 2022,Runde Rothenbuch-Hafenlohrtal-Gasthaus Hochspessart und zurück

A beautiful, varied round from Rothenbuch. Inspired by other Komooters-but then made a round of my own.
Some beautiful hiking trails, gravel roads.
Unfortunately, the Gasthaus Hochspessart was closed due to illness - too bad I was looking forward to the cold cyclist.
Great round - gladly again.

Well, Haberstab Johann would probably not have cared about the closure, he would have taken the path anyway; under cover of darkness he could have been sure that no one would be lying in wait for him on the closed path. As a non-poacher, however, it is better to take the warning seriously, as the Robber's Path with its steep, …
