Hotels in Spessart, Germany

Spessart is a forested low mountain range in central Germany, straddling Bavaria and Hesse, with a temperate climate that brings warm summers (averaging 68°F/20°C) and cold winters (around 32°F/0°C). It's famous for its dense woodlands and medieval half-timbered villages like Miltenberg, where you can hike the 140-mile Spessart Trail through beech and oak forests-perfect in summer when wild strawberries line the path. In winter, try cross-country skiing near Schöllkrippen, or explore the ruins of Burg Wildenstein castle without the crowds. Got a thing for local wine? Visit in autumn for the Spessart wine harvest cycle rides through vineyards along the Main River.
