Horst (Spessart)

Horst from the south

The Horst is a 540 m above sea level. NN high mountain in the Hessischer Spessart Nature Park about four kilometers southeast of Bad Orb, in the Main- Kinzig-Kreis. He is the highest elevation in the district of Bad Orb and the highest mountain in the Orb of twigs, a mountain range in the northern Spessart between Bad Orb and the Jossgrund. Nevertheless, the Horst is a little pronounced mountain shape that rises only slightly above its surroundings.

Geography and landscape

The Horst is passed with dense spruce forest; towards the summit form ferns and foxgloves ground vegetation. An important distinction is the two identical antenna systems as well as a sign for " Horst, 540 meters " at the summit, which would otherwise be difficult to identify.
