Hösbach

Nestled in the heart of the Vorspessart, Hösbach is an idyllic destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. Visitors are immersed in a landscape of rolling hills, dense forests and cool streams, where footpaths – such as those leading to the Wandererbrunnen or the Drei Kreuze – wind through unspoilt valleys and feature benches that invite you to linger. The air is fragrant with the scent of the fresh forest, whilst birds chirp and the wind rustles through the leaves – a pure sensory experience. Special moments unfold at club festivals with illuminated Ferris wheels and carousels under the night sky, or during sporting activities at the 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and swimming pools. The late-Baroque pilgrimage church in Schmerlenbach, with a history stretching back over 825 years, whispers of its past; it was built in 1758/59 under Abbess Engelberta von Rodenhausen; its image of grace, a delicate Pietà dating from 1380, radiates spiritual depth and sparks curiosity about forgotten pilgrimage tales. Nearby attractions such as Mespelbrunn Moated Castle, the climbing forests in Heigenbrücken and the wildlife park promise days full of variety. Restaurants and cafés offer regional specialities, complemented by the ‘Maria an der Sonne’ educational and retreat centre for relaxation. Here, nature, culture and activity blend to create unforgettable experiences.
