The pond and moor rest quietly. Deep in the Spessart forests, on a 400-meter-high ridge on the Hessian-Bavarian border, a small body of water called the Wiesbüttsee and an elongated "Zwischenmoor" (intermediate moor) surprise visitors. Dominated by golden-yellow grasses, heather, sedges, and even cotton grass, a dense fern belt shields the raised bog, which was declared a protected area in …

It's a beautiful loop... I ran this loop, of course inspired by a Komooter - Wiesbütt is always beautiful anyway. 🥰
The paths: very varied.
The weather: was perfect today (sun, breeze, now and then small clouds), 21 degrees.
It's a shame that there is no place to stop for refreshments at Wiesbütt yet. But there are worse things

We haven't walked this beautiful route for a while and the length and time it took fit perfectly into our Sunday program 😉

The forest and the entire vegetation "exploded" within a week 😳

If you have time, you MUST get out into the wonderful nature now

With a hot apple, mystical foggy mood and good conversations, it was again an absolute pleasure 😉👍🏻

Pond and moor are still. Deep in the Spessart forests, on a 400 meter high mountain ridge in the Hessian-Bavarian border area, a small body of water called Wiesbüttsee and an elongated "intermediate moor" surprise you. Dominated by golden yellow grass, heather, sedges and even cotton grass, a dense belt of ferns shields the high moor, which was placed under …
