Tips from the Community
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.

The Hafenlohr is a 26.5 km long (27.7 km including the Tiergartenbach) right tributary of the Main River in the districts of Aschaffenburg and Main-Spessart in the Bavarian Spessart region. The Hafenlohr rises from two springs in the municipality of Rothenbuch. The longer and occasionally more water-rich branch is the Tiergartenbach, which often dries up on dry days. Officially, it is considered the upper course of the Hafenlohr main watercourse. The source, known as the Hafenlohr Spring, in the center of the village provides water almost year-round. The Hafenlohr Spring is located at Rothenbuch Castle. It was encased in sandstone during the road widening of the St 2317. Its water flows northwest through the castle moat and, after about 100 meters, flows from the left bank into the bed of the Tiergartenbach, which flows from the Tiergartengrund on the northern edge of the village and is already 1.3 km[7] long. It doesn't provide water year-round, but at times it provides more than the perennial spring at the castle. The spring at the castle was probably once a meeting place for hunters in the eastern Spessart, which is why construction of a hunting lodge began here in 1342. The spring water fed the castle moat and several surrounding trout lakes, which no longer exist. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafenlohr_(Fluss)

In 2013, the pheasantry was expanded westward with a green bridge over the Ringstrasse and the Aschaffenburg–Miltenberg railway line, and the adjacent grandmother meadow was once again part of the pheasantry. Source: Wikipedia

One of the most fun trails of the circuit. Up and down in the cave...with plenty of momentum through

The bridge was already here in 1875. A few years ago, extensive renovation became necessary.
