View of Oberndorf and St. Martin Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

Most beautiful vantage point on Oberndorf. In the wooden box there is even a Spessart track book to leave a greeting.

View of Oberndorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

At different heights on the slope, the viewing angles of the church and thus also the photo motif vary.

View of the Zöllersberg Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is right, it's a bit drafty but a beautiful place to take a break on a bench with a view of the valley

A great idea! 🥪🧀🥨🧃 Opening in 2024. I read somewhere that you can order picnic baskets through Spessart Tourism. Presumably, people will stop for a break at this sunny, beautiful spot.

Juniper heaths grow on dry, nutrient-poor, and often steep slopes far from settlements, where grazing was rarely possible. They developed over the last few centuries through sheep, goat, or cattle …

Highland cattle can be found on the Jossgrund premium hiking trail. They are shaggy, robust, and exude a sense of calm.

The Castle Tavern

Highlight • Pub

The castle tavern is a nice place to stop for refreshments, and if you would like to stay longer, you can also spend the night here.

Schafhof Café

Highlight • Cafe

A popular place to stop for refreshments right next to Burgjoss Park. Since Burgjoss is the start/finish point of the Spessart Trail Jossgrund loop, a visit can be easily combined with a trip to the park.

Today I made my way to Jossgrund. A fantastic hike that I can only recommend.

Jossgrund circuit The 11.7 km long Spessart Trail awaits those looking for happiness in Jossgrund with a variety of impressions and delightful experiences in nature. The slopes in the Jossatal, which are exposed up to higher elevations, pamper hikers on this tour with their outstanding wealth of views. The former moated castle welcomes hikers to Burgjoss with grace. The imposing sight of its mighty castle wall lets your thoughts wander into chivalric times - a moment to dream. The path leads through the green Burgwiesenpark of the castle complex, out of the village, to the narrow bank path of the Jossa. The narrow path meanders through the floodplain along the meandering, alder-lined river

Spessart track the fourth… .. 🥾 Today we ran the track in Jossgrund. It was probably the last home tour before South Tyrol the next Saturday 🏔 The tour itself is quite unspectacular but somehow nice from the route. Signs are clearly visible as usual and generally easy to walk. The weather was terrific today ☀️ and we were happy to have gone out. We had a quarrel at first because the night before was pretty short 🍻😅 The official description of the tour as usual here: https://www.spessartbogen.de/de/spessartfaehrten/jossgrund/

Back from the Harz 😉, now I'm going back to Spessart and Rhön. The Spessart track is very beautiful, not very demanding. Tip: Do not walk when it is too hot, about 3/4 in an open area

A varied, very beautiful hike on the premium Spessart track in the beautiful Hessian Spessart! Whether forest, flower meadows or fields. There was always something to see. Horses, highland cattle, alpacas and also butterflies, cats and beetles embellished this tour. The first sunny, then cloudy weather was just right for this tour. The final stop in the Schafhof Café with a large cup of cappuccino and homemade cake rounded off this wonderful hike. Let's do it again! 🥾🎒🦋👍

The Jossa circuit from Burgjoß is always beautiful. But today in winter temperatures below zero ❄️, with snow and sun 🌞 it was simply fantastic. The snow ☃️ crunched underfoot. Splendid! The thick layer of ice all over plants and trees was particularly impressive. The freezing rain from a few days ago actually had something good. Unfortunately, the sparkle of the sun's rays on the ice layer doesn't really come across in the photos 🤷 In Oberndorf you can take a break at the local Italian restaurant. Alternatively, Cafe Schafhof 🐑 in Burgjoß is highly recommended

A very nice Spessart track, with dear friends, for Father's Day 🥾🍺🎒 We can unreservedly recommend the tour 👍👍👍 It was a lot of fun 🥰 A great day in the Spessart 🌲😎🌳

A very nice tour of the Hessian part of the Spessart. The varied path led us through fields and meadows. The stretches through the forest bring some cooling in this weather. The two climbs rewarded us with a beautiful panoramic view of the Spessart. And the last 800m along the Joßbach invite you to take a little break on the benches. At the end of the tour, directly opposite the car park, you can reward yourself with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake in the Schafhofcafé.
