In the middle of that spot, there was an old oak tree (in German \u201cEiche\u201d) which is called Fr\u00fchst\u00fcckseiche (Breakfast Oak) because apparently in the past lots of hikers would have they are breakfast in its shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stepping out of the forest was a shift of worlds into a very flat open landscape with apple trees. I followed mostly on small paths into the city off Aschaffenburg and crossed the Main there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The sharp difference between the Spessart forest and the flat open land to the northwest of it.<\/li>
- The walk along Sch\u00f6nbusch Allee and through Sch\u00f6nbusch<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
