The latest Spessart track (discovered in Kinzig News) is a really successful highlight, especially for hot summer days like today
Mainly with winding forest paths in the shade of the trees, and at the beginning at the castle 🏰 and along the stream🏞️ with beautiful old walls 🏚️. Very varied, and with a length that calls for repetition🤩
There is …

I'm currently limited in my mobility due to a leg vein infection.

To prevent anything worse, it should definitely be a short hike today. Exercise is very important in such situations.

The 7.5 km came at just the right time.

I didn't see an "official" starting point, meaning no information board or anything like that.

But I love that 😊

Yes, yes, very nice new Spessart track 🤗. Fantastic start in the castle park and along the beautiful stream through the flat forest. After that, after a short ascent, a functioning and very nice off-grid section follows quickly before it goes uphill for a little longer. You then go through more or less open forest to above Wächtersbach, with a …

Part 8 of my motivational task 😄
Today we went to Wächtersbach for the Schlosswald round.
A fairly short tour with its 7 km, but very pleasant to walk and nice and shady for the summer 🌳😊🌲
Progress was slow today - yesterday's chemotherapy is still in my bones. But it should also be a walk and not a marathon …

Unfortunately it rained today 🌧, so no 🌄 picture 😔, but a hiker does not know bad weather 🤪
Today's track was very nice to walk, always changing between wide paths and small paths, all of which were beautifully covered with autumn leaves today.
