Spessart, Bavaria

 

The Spessart owes its good reputation to its natural charm and amiable awareness of tradition. The holiday destination with its curative effects is a benefit for the heart and circulation due to its mild moderate climate and inspires burnt-out souls.

In the mini town Heigenbrücken, visitors can get to know sleepy places in nature and collect plenty of mushrooms in the woods. Flair hotels and country inns offer comfort of upper class; in the Weyberhöfen near Aschaffenburg in Sailauf, tourists can enjoy the historic setting of the former hunting chateau of the prince-electors of Mainz, which dates back to the year 1265. Here they can indulge themselves. The Spessart is a holiday paradise where the holidaymaker will feel comfortably surrounded by fairy-tales and legends.

The Spessart, in Bavaria, has plenty to offer: mighty castles, fortresses, ruins, churches and chapels. Kurmainz Castle with its "Spessart Museum" in Lohr upon Main opens its gates for a trip into the past and the fairy-tale castle Mespelbrunn enchants its visitors.

In 1826, Wilhelm Hauff wrote the fairy-tale "Das Wirtshaus im Spessart" there – you can also visit the house of the Grimm Brothers in Steinau an der Straße or follow Snow White who was at home in Lohr upon Main.

Tourists can comfortably spend the night in idyllic inns and guesthouses – cyclists will be happy about the biker-friendly Bed & Bike offer.
