View of Oberndorf and St. Martin Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

Most beautiful vantage point on Oberndorf. In the wooden box there is even a Spessart track book to leave a greeting.

View of Oberndorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

At different heights on the slope, the viewing angles of the church and thus also the photo motif vary.

View of the Zöllersberg Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is right, it's a bit drafty but a beautiful place to take a break on a bench with a view of the valley

Picnic station in Naturpark Hessischer Spessart

Highlight • Rest Area

A great idea! 🥪🧀🥨🧃 Opening in 2024. I read somewhere that you can order picnic baskets through Spessart Tourism. Presumably, people will stop for a break at this sunny, beautiful spot.

Juniper heath in Naturpark Hessischer Spessart

Highlight • Natural

Juniper heaths grow on dry, nutrient-poor, and often steep slopes far from settlements, where grazing was rarely possible. They developed over the last few centuries through sheep, goat, or cattle …

The Castle Tavern

The castle tavern is a nice place to stop for refreshments, and if you would like to stay longer, you can also spend the night here.

Schafhof Café

Highlight • Cafe

A popular place to stop for refreshments right next to Burgjoss Park. Since Burgjoss is the start/finish point of the Spessart Trail Jossgrund loop, a visit can be easily combined with a trip to the park.

Spessart track the fourth… .. 🥾

Today we ran the track in Jossgrund. It was probably the last home tour before South Tyrol the next
Saturday 🏔

The tour itself is quite unspectacular but somehow nice from the route. Signs are clearly visible as usual and generally easy to walk.

A varied, very beautiful hike on the premium Spessart track in the beautiful Hessian Spessart! Whether forest, flower meadows or fields. There was always something to see. Horses, highland cattle, alpacas and also butterflies, cats and beetles embellished this tour. The first sunny, then cloudy weather was just right for this tour. The final stop in the Schafhof Café with …

The Jossa circuit from Burgjoß is always beautiful. But today in winter temperatures below zero ❄️, with snow and sun 🌞 it was simply fantastic.

The snow ☃️ crunched underfoot. Splendid!
The thick layer of ice all over plants and trees was particularly impressive. The freezing rain from a few days ago actually had something good.

A very nice tour of the Hessian part of the Spessart. The varied path led us through fields and meadows. The stretches through the forest bring some cooling in this weather. The two climbs rewarded us with a beautiful panoramic view of the Spessart. And the last 800m along the Joßbach invite you to take a little break on the …
