Forest Inn "Zum Engländer"

Highlight • Restaurant

Nothing has changed! Was here 40 years ago on a motorcycle, now on an E-MTB. It's just nice to be around nice people.

Nice to driving trail best in good weather, as it has a relatively high root share. Did you drive in two stages (Schlüchtern-Heigenbrücken, Heigenbrücken-Großheubach)? Also for less experienced drivers to …

March 10, 2024,Matsch ade 😁, Einstiegstour in die neue Saison.

🦕 Sunday, time, weather; should actually be 15 degrees, cloudy with sunshine. But it was much colder and the sun only peeked through the clouds for 3 minutes.
I actually wanted to take the Birkenhainer to the Wiesbüttsee and then back over the Bamberger mill, but it went so well that I drove to the Englishman and over the beautiful …

June 11, 2023,Richtung Franzosenkopf zum Wiesbüttsee und Engländer nach Mömbris und über den Weinberg Michelbach zurück

Today again a tour alone with many trails and some new trails. It's always fun to find new beautiful paths and especially trails. I actually wanted to drink a cool spritzer at the Englishman, so I only took a small bottle with me. But unfortunately they were closed up there 😥.
Thirsty we continued to Mömbris to the ice cream …

After yesterday's e-bike tour didn't exert me at all, today I finally completed my "3 Peaks Tour" in the best weather. 😀
Test drive with the new converted 36/24 ratio at the front. Works great, even though Shimano doesn't actually have it.
Beautiful mountain trails with great views and great trails.🤗
What surprised me was that almost no one was …

April 12, 2025,2025-13 Spessart Tour "Engländer" mal anders rum 😍

I've done this tour a few times in a modified form, but always the other way around. And each time I took the slightly traily ⛰️ route towards the Engländer. So I looked into whether it could be planned the other way around. Since I knew most of the routes, I quickly found a way to get to the Engländer …

March 13, 2022,Über die Birkenheiner zum Sendeturm in Heinrichsthal und über den Engländer durch das Kahltal zum Weinberg Michelbach und zurück.

Nice tour in wonderful weather. The forest roads are passable again and the trails are dry. But the traces of the heavy equipment used by the forest workers are sometimes annoying.
3 brimstone butterflies and a fox butterfly were already on the way 🦋.

June 19, 2025,Zum Engländerhaus ⚡️🚲😎👍

Unfortunately, the Engländerhaus was closed on a sunny, beautiful holiday. Coffee and cake at Café Denk were delicious as always. Äppler at Frohnbügel is unbeatably good.

April 20, 2024,2024-13 Spessart Rundfahrt / Eselsweg

Today I rode a section of the donkey path as a highlight. I have to say that on the other side of the A3 there are almost only deciduous trees. Last week it was rather gloomy because of the many firs, but today, what a strong green. The donkey path itself (at least the section I rode) is something special. …
