Tips from the Community

April 11, 2026, Echterspfahl Historical Site

Here the "Eselsweg", an old trade route running north-south, along which animals heavily laden with salt were formerly transported from Bad Orb, crosses the old postal route running east-west from Würzburg to Frankfurt am Main. It was once a meeting place for the hunters and beaters of the Prince-Electors and Bishops of Mainz. The name goes back to the legend according to which the three Echter brothers, who were all active as robber knights and were pursued by Emperor Barbarossa's troops, met there from time to time and tied their horses to the metal rings of the post. The "Eselsweg" is today a quality long-distance hiking trail of 111 km.

It's always nice to rest here. The view is beautiful, and the sculptures are also pleasant to look at.
