Where Bavaria and Hesse meet: The Natural Gem of the Spessart. This impressive low mountain range stretches across both federal states and connects the towns of Aschaffenburg, Lohr am Main and Gemünden. But the Spessart offers much more than just forests – it’s a place where nature and history come together.
With its vast, green forests and gentle hills, the Spessart is one of the largest forest areas in Germany. Numerous streams and rivers, such as the Main and the Kinzig, wind their way through the region, making it a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
Anyone looking to hike or cycle here can expect a varied landscape, with peaks like the Gebel (586 m) or Hirschberg (588 m) offering stunning views across the region.
But the Spessart is not just pure nature: here you can also feel the history reflected in charming villages and historic towns. From medieval charm to fairytale castles and palaces – the Spessart is the perfect place for anyone who wants to experience nature, adventure and a bit of history.
