Sports ground camping
The sports field of Heinrichsthal, the highest municipality in the Spessart, becomes a parking spot: a meadow next to the playground or, if wet, a graveled parking area. Surrounded by forest on all sides. Two old long-distance trails start here, the Eselsweg and the Birkenhainer Straße. Those who come without a tent will find a shelter between the trees for a hammock or bivy. In the morning, mist hangs over the meadow before the first hikers set off.1

Sights in the area1
Klingenberg am Main
Wine village on the Main, known for its red wine grown on red sandstone; a stroll through the narrow lanes and up into the vineyards suits a mild afternoon.
Miltenberg
Half-timbered town on the Main with an old marketplace and the river bridge; the classic outing for a rainy day when the woods are too wet to walk.
Eselsweg
Old salt route along the Spessart ridge, walkable from here in day stages; little climbing, plenty of forest, good even for half a day.
