View of Marjoß

Highlight • Viewpoint

The houses of the Steinau district of Marjoß lie directly in the valley. Across the Jossgrund valley, on a clear day, the Dreistelz mountain in the Brückenau Kuppenrhön region, with its pointed cone, can even be seen.

December 26, 2024,Spessartspur "Merneser Jossatal" #20

We took advantage of the cloudless and very sunny afternoon of the second day of Christmas for this lovely walk.
The paths were quite wet in places, but what can that do us!?

And don't forget... the true message of Christmas:

Jesus Christ came into our world as a child to atone for our sins as a grown man.

A great tour. The path leads along a stream at the beginning and you are accompanied by constant gurgling and splashing.

Luckily it was pretty frosty and the path was frozen in many places, …

From the parking spot in Mernes, with temperatures not too high anymore, sunshine and always a little wind, I went for a run on a route that I had already done about 5 years ago. What can I say, it's still very beautiful. At the starting point, there is a natural swimming pool which has been beautifully redesigned in the …

To round off the day, we recommend a quick visit to the Schafhof Kaffee in Burg Joß. It's just 4km away by car.
