Rückersbach Gorge

The Rückersbacher Gorge: A simply great trail to the place Rückersbach. But a section is already a very beautiful route through beautiful forest. Next to it is the splashing of the Rückers-Bach. GREAT.

Rückersbach Gorge

Nice long descent through a very beautiful gorge. At the end of the descent, a beautiful beer garden awaits you.

Aubachtal Valley (Spessartwiesen Nature Reserve)

You should definitely take the small trail at the beginning of the lower Aubachse to be able to drive along the shore. Pure nature. Above just a normal path.

Annaschlucht

Fine gorge, well secured… However, it would be nicer left natural and without an asphalt road
