A very nice new trail that is easy to walk and is a bit adventurous in the first third (clockwise) and offers beautiful views. The signage is also great 👍

A mostly flat tour with a surprising amount of 🌳. And I didn't know before that this region is part of the Spessart. You never stop learning. Beautiful hike that I (I think) stole from @Claudia Bouazi. Thanks 😀

A new Spessart trail was recently introduced. I don't really understand why you have to do a Spessart trail in Nidderau, but we still wanted to walk it.

With a large team, we set off from the train station in Eichen, where the official start is.

The fact that we hiked this Spessart trail today was more of a coincidence. Grit had suggested hiking the longest Spessart trail, thinking of the "Sonnenhänge Lohrhaupten" (Lohrhaupten Sunny Slopes). The NidderAuen Trail only opened at the end of June last year, and we were both surprised that Nidderau is already part of the Spessart. But no matter, at 16.9 …

Blue skies, crisp air. Today, I chose the Nidderauen Trail, another Spessart trail. Light beech forests, soft forest floor, and a peaceful walk right from the start. The sun warmed my face and took the edge off the cold.

But the WhatsApp channels were really hot in advance for today 🔥 Should we go despite the forecast thunderstorms or not 🤔 In the end, 'nothing ventured, nothing gained', we're going 💪!
This tour has been featured a lot on this Komoot channel recently and it caught my attention 🧐. We start at the train station 🚉 in Nidderau Eichen …

After a stroke and my first heart surgery (second one to come...), finally a touch of normality again 🍀😍
What a fantastically beautiful tour—it's definitely one of my favorites
