The good Horst is after all the highest elevation in the northern Spessart. Thanks to a path of forestry work, there is even a view to the east. Otherwise, in addition to two radio towers, there is one thing above all: peace!

The Beilstein is a mountain in the Spessart, 499.5 m above sea level (NHN). It lies east of the road from Bad Orb to Jossatal, between Villbach and Lettgenbrunn, within the municipality of Jossgrund in the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse. The Beilstein is a basalt cone with the largest basalt cave in the Main-Kinzig district. The formation originated 10 to 20 million years ago through volcanic eruptions; the surrounding Bunter sandstone, which otherwise characterizes the Spessart, is around 200 million years older. The basalt breakthrough was exposed by erosion; the rock faces show the typical basalt columns as well as smaller, spherical formations. On the mountain, first documented in 1059, are the remains of the small, high medieval hilltop castle Beilstein. It was built to protect the possessions of the Archbishopric of Mainz and to control an old road, and was first mentioned in 1343. Furthermore, it was intended to protect the first glassworks that were established. When the lordship passed to the Counts of Hanau, the castle presumably lost its importance and fell into ruin thereafter. Due to the scarce sources, little is known about the castle. Today, the complex consists only of a ring wall about 12 meters long. Source: Wikipedia

Very nice combo with the golf course trail and Don Bosco, so to speak the traily variant of the WAB towards Don Bosco. Very worthwhile dangling through the Beilstein (former castle) - it's worth walking around - continue on trails to Lettgenbrunn and again trailig from Lettgenbrunn back to the flow trail. You can also drive the other way around, but the circumnavigation is more suitable here. Be sure to climb the Beilstein - not for the view, but rather to get a feel for the facility.

The Horstberg was once an important trigonometric point These points are dying out. They used to be important points of land surveying. They are usually found on prominent mountains. But prominent structures such as church towers can also be trigonometric points. With the advent of satellite technology and GPS, they lost their importance.
