The post office holder's cross in the shady forest marks one of the most important waypoints on the medieval stagecoach route between Würzburg and Frankfurt. With a little imagination, you can easily imagine on the dense paths around the Posthalterkreuz why the Spessart has been nicknamed "robber's forest".
