Toad Pond

Highlight • Lake

Nice little pond for a short or longer rest. If you are lucky and have a little patience, you can spot fish (I mean carp).

May 11, 2025,Spessart - MTB-Tour Gerichtspfade

A varied, entertaining tour through the beautiful Spessart. The climbs in the first half are truly challenging. You'll be rewarded with great descents. The trail section isn't that extensive, but it's nicely spread out. Fans of forest highways will get their money's worth.

August 12, 2024,Spessartbiken Tour 20: „Gerichtswald-Pfade“ & Hufeisen-Trail 😵

The tour through the Linsengerichter Gerichtswald has a sporty touch. Uphill and downhill paths alternate with forest and farm roads. It is accompanied by the naturalness of the Gerichtswald. A tour that requires a certain amount of technical riding skills.

Great Spessart tour in real spring weather👍

From Horbach we went past the Raue Heil, Kahler Kopf and Galgenberg back and up to the Franzosenkopf.

The route ran largely along the Gerichtswald paths (Tour 20 of the Spessartbiken network) extended by a few trails.
