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 …

January 12, 2025,Dammbach-Unterschnorrhof-Pollershöhe-Wintersbach-Krausenbach-#Zwischen Scharstein & Geishöhe 🇪🇺 (12.01.25)

The north and south loops of the Dammbach Cultural Trail today brought with them the elevation gain and a somewhat snowy winter landscape. The highlight was the "Old School Trail" with rock climbing included. A tour through the "deep" Spessart that couldn't have been more beautiful.

April 6, 2025,Kulturweg Dammbach - Zwischen Scharstein und Geishöhe

A beautiful cultural trail in the Dammbach Valley. From Wintersbach, the northern loop leads over Pollershöhe and Scharstein on beautiful forest paths to Krausenbach. The southern loop then leads over Schnorrenhöhe to Oberkrausenbach, to the Waldhotel Heppe, and then up a steep forest footpath to Geishöhe and the Ludwig Keller Tower. The route then descends steadily back to Wintersbach along …

November 13, 2022,Kulturweg Dammbach: Zwischen Scharstein und Geishöhe

Sporty cultural path in the Hochspessart today. 10-15% incline on the first few kilometers quickly brought the operating temperature up 😅. In front of all the great forest and fantastic routes off the beaten track, I was really excited and didn't have time to struggle with the efforts 😀. The first descent in the sea of leaves was sometimes not …

Starting at Sternplatz in the Wintersbach district, this cultural trail first leads up past the sports field, to the misty Scharstein in the north, the Birkenlund, past the forest chapel, before heading downhill to the Ferschenmühle in the Krausenbach …

July 24, 2022,Scharstein Kapelle – Geißhöhe Runde von Dammbach

Super great hike, even if it's over 30 degrees. You walk a lot in the forest. The paths are mostly natural. On the Geißhöhe you can take a short break to have something to drink and eat.
