Ludwig-Keller Observation Tower on Geishöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is no view from most of the Spessart elevations, as they are wooded and/or the surroundings are hardly towered over. It's different at the Geißhöhe. The wide plateau is …

February 22, 2025,Dammbach - Geishöhe - „Alter Schulweg“ - Naturskulpturen im Hochspessart 🥾

The "Old School Path" near Dammbach
In the past, the journey to school was a great challenge for many children - especially for those who lived above Dammbach. Nine families had settled there of their own accord around 1700, far from the nearest school. Their children had to undertake an extremely arduous journey every day until the 1970s to get …

The most interesting section is the "Old School Trail" that the children had to walk from the Gaishöhe to the valley in all weathers and all seasons. In years long gone, of course.

Nice round for warm weather! Start in Dammbach, parking lot at the playground. On the old school path (highly recommended) it goes on a beautiful path over forest floor and rocks, with many information boards up to the
Geißhöhe. Once at the top, it is worth taking a detour to the Ludwig Keller Tower with a great view of the …

Many 💝 thanks to my favorite sister for the great hike and this beautiful day together - in subtropical 😅 climatic conditions.

Starting at Marie-Kreuz-Platz, the tour took us along the very beautiful ALTEN SCHULWEG🙃 up to the Geishöhe and up to the Ludwig-Keller-Turm, in a loop on the Kulturweg back down to Dammbach.
