Brothers Grimm House Museum, Steinau

Highlight • Historical Site

The Brothers Grimm House, where the Grimms spent their childhood. The nearby Steinau Castle, which served as a fortification for safe passage on the Via Regia, is also well worth seeing.

June 5, 2026,Spessartfährte Hochgefühl 🎀🥾
A very beautiful circular hiking trail of the Spessartspuren.
Mostly forest paths and also field paths dotted with beautiful views into the Kinzigtal.
The final section through Steinau with its castle and old town and various options for refreshments is worthwhile.

Today's tour was more of a mud fight than a hike 😄
Sometimes the paths were so covered with mud / water and leaves that you always had to be careful not to fall; once I had to lie down 🙈😅
I think in dry conditions it is definitely a nice round, which offers …

In summer or when it is dry, this tour is definitely a highlight.
Good views, narrow hiking trails, along the stream, through woods and fields.
In the rainy February, many paths were muddy and under water. Waterproof shoes and then with the Kärcher over them - then it's done 😉

Part 7 of my motivational task 😄
Today we went to Steinau - to the Steinau exhilaration. And why is this track called that? Because it always goes hooooch 😅 You will be rewarded with a beautiful view - depending on which direction (motorway) you look 🙈
I still like this round a lot, because it runs mostly over fields …
