Rückersbach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Rückersbacher Gorge: A simply great trail to the place Rückersbach. But a section is already a very beautiful route through beautiful forest. Next to it is the splashing of the Rückers-Bach. GREAT.

Lowest point in Bavaria

Highlight • Natural Monument

A classic in Seligenstadt, it is a pleasure how beautiful the garden / park and the monastery complex are lively and well-kept. Always worth a trip! There is also an integrative café with a view over the garden of the Main. 👌🏻⛪️🪴⛲️

At this point you are only 102 meters above sea level. That is the lowest point in Bavaria.

This is a perfect place to take a break. There are several benches on which you can sit down.
