The Spessart is a low mountain range and forest area that stretches across parts of Lower Franconia and across the state border into Hesse. It is one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Germany, known for its dense forests, rolling hills and peaceful surroundings. The Spessart is dotted with charming villages, medieval castles and historical sites, such as Mespelbrunn Castle, a well-preserved moated castle. The region has a rich folk tradition, often associated with the stories of the ‘Spessart Robbers’, which have been romanticised in German literature and film. In the Spessart, you will find many small villages nestled among the woods, where you might imagine the fox and the hare saying ‘good night’ to each other. Depending on your personal taste, you are sure to find a spot or two that will leave you with fond memories for years to come.
Our round trip, which will last a whole year, begins in Schlüchtern in the north. The town is located at the intersection of the Rhön, Vogelsberg and Spessart mountains. And our mobile bedroom is located in the district of Hutten, surrounded by nature. From here, you can go on hikes, bike rides or car trips to explore the area... or stock up the fridge.
