The donkey path is not just a path, but a piece of Spessart history. It has probably been around for around 2,000 years. It got its name from the donkeys that transported the salt from Bad Orb here. This historic trade route is 111 kilometers long and is now ideal for hiking and mountain biking, which is why it is also part of several official bike routes.

@Thomas: You're wrong, though... this is NOT the start of the historical donkey trail! It runs from Schluechtern to Großheubach:
