Unspectacular but beautiful this wooden hut lies in the middle of the forest at the gates of Bad Orb. If you fancy a break away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place to go;)

Rain at night... Until half past nine in the morning. Then we could finally put the bike together and start this tour. Spessart is nice... So beautiful, so empty... And so close to FFM 😀 etc... So easy to get to. Greetings
