October 7, 2023,Bikewald Spessart - Sohlhöhe - Birkenhainer 🍂🏔️ 🚵🏽‍♂️ 🐗

Nice tour in the Spessart bike forest. I got the tour from bikewald.com there are a few tours to choose from in different regions of the Spessart. Today we went from Gemünden up to Sohlhöhe at 536m. Unfortunately no photo weather today. According to bikewald.com, this is followed by the longest trail descent in the Spessart at 4 kilometers down …

May 26, 2024,First mud is the deepest

The famous song by Rod Spessart, who doesn't know it? 😂The mud made the climbs five percent harder. On the descents, you eventually found it fun to slide. Nice round, would love to do it again with less mud, unfortunately it really took its toll today.

Then it finally went down towards Gemünden and even on …

Starting in Lohr, we took the Märchenweg (Fairy Tale Trail) and the Beilstein Trail down to Partenstein. Following the pleasant trail parallel above the federal highway, we then tackled the first big bump on easy uphill trails and beautiful forest paths, stopping for a …

July 14, 2024,Spessart: alte Birkenhainer Landstraße

Another great day of biking in the Spessart, in the area north of Lohr am Main, one of the most sparsely populated and isolated areas of the Spessart. Lots of beautiful trails included.
The highlight was the pumped storage basin on the Solhöhe, with a view as far as the Kreuzberg. Then we explored the former mining area above Partenstein, …
