European Cultural Route "Heaven and Hell"

European Cultural Route "Heaven and Hell"

European Cultural Trail through Heimbuchenthal

The European Cultural Routes are a multi-faceted network launched by the Council of Europe initiative in 1987. These paths serve to connect the rich heritage of the different countries and cultures of Europe and to present a living, common cultural heritage. 

The Spessart, a region in Germany, is known for its involvement in this project, with the Spessart Nature Park being home to more than 100 such cultural trails, often designed as circular trails. These trails are equipped with informative boards that offer cultural and historical insights into the respective places and the region. These trails are interesting not only for history and culture lovers, but also for those who are looking for a connection with nature and at the same time learn something about the diversity.
