The Spessart<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Main-Spessart region is characterized by a diverse, heavily forested landscape and well-preserved medieval buildings.

Those wishing to visit castles, palaces, and museums will find exactly what they are looking for. <\/p>\n
The towns in the Main-Spessart region have preserved their heritage and maintained their medieval centers. Here, you can stroll and shop or sit in an outdoor caf\u00e9.

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Particularly charming is the Hafenlohr Valley near Rothenbuch, an ancient cultural landscape perfectly suited for cyclists or motorcyclists who prefer a leisurely, scenic tour. Narrow, winding roads stretch almost endlessly through the protected valley, where the sensitive wet meadows must not be entered. The fish-rich Hafenlohr River, which rises in Rothenbuch, meanders through pristine forests, and you can enjoy the delicious products of local fish farmers in numerous restaurants. <\/p>\n
In the dense forests, you can sit under ancient oaks and dream of the days of the Spessart bandits. Perhaps you will even be held up by bandits\u2014who knows? With a little luck, you might also observe the region’s wildlife. Hike in the footsteps of the infamous hunter Johann Adam Hasenstab, who was born in Rothenbuch in 1716, declared an outlaw for poaching, and was only caught and shot by the Elector’s hunters after a multi-year manhunt for a bounty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
There is much to experience…<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>Gems in beautiful scenic surroundings, half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, city walls, and castles. Ideal for exploration on foot or by bike. True, healthy relaxation in the heart of Germany. <\/p>\n
The Spessart and Main regions are located close to major transport links and are ideal for leisure, recreation, and holidays off the beaten path. The Spessart bandits have vanished into the “Inn in the Spessart,” Snow White into fairytales, and the mythical creatures of legend into the deep, dark Spessart forests. What remains are popular and admired architectural masterpieces, such as Mespelbrunn moated castle, Aschaffenburg Castle, fortresses, and monasteries. Many legends surround the Spessart and its people. There is much to experience!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
