Eselsweg at Eselshöhe near Wiesen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice to driving trail best in good weather, as it has a relatively high root share. Did you drive in two stages (Schlüchtern-Heigenbrücken, Heigenbrücken-Großheubach)? Also for less experienced drivers to create. Always great waypoints on the track. The effort is worthwhile in any case.

Dr. Karl Kihn Square

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This rest area is a historic transport hub and is located at the intersection of Eselsweg and Birkenhainer Straße.

Dr. Karl Kihn was a general practitioner who, as a student in 1876, founded the oldest hiking club in the Spessart, the Freigerichter Bund. He rendered services to tourism in the region. The monument was erected in his honor.

April 6, 2024,Mountainbike-Tour. Durch den Kahlgrund zum Engländer & incl Eselsweg zurück

I'll come to the conclusion straight away. The tour was really beautiful and really exhausting in the best biking weather ☀️ Only with coffee☕ and cake 🍰😋 was I on the same level as the mountain goat 🙈

October 3, 2022,Stein-Pilz-Trail-Tour zum Sendeturm und Engländer

Today we did the tour that we actually wanted to do with six people.
Very nice tour with @TinLizzy&AgentO.
The mushrooms on our way were very impressive. Just like the beautifully painted "wandering stones".
The trails from the transmission tower via the Englishman to Sommerkahl were also a lot of fun.
I even got a "tour reward nut" 🤣👍

June 23, 2024,Mountainbike-Tour an der "Drachenmühle" vorbei zum Engländer und über Eselsweg und Birkenheiner zurück.

Sunday, sun and great temperature for cycling.
Met old friends at the "Drachenmühle" and visited many trails.
Climbed the X9 the other way round today 😅, unfortunately it was completely ruined by the forest work above and is no longer so idyllic 😔.
Motorized society was bustling around at the Engländer. No, not e-bikers, but the loud ones with varnish …
