The Spessart
Extensive deciduous forest mountains in the arc of the Main, quiet and sparsely populated.
The Spessart is a forested low mountain range in Lower Franconia and East Hesse, surrounded on the north, west and south by the Main. It is one of Germany's largest contiguous deciduous forest areas, with old oak and beech stands on bunter sandstone. The region is sparsely populated and peaceful, crisscrossed by streams and hiking trails. Those seeking forests and wide open spaces will find plenty of both here.
