Schollbrunn: Hiking, Wildlife Park and Church History

Exploring Schollbrunn means choosing among different themes: hiking trails, wildlife watching and local architectural and church history. You can tailor the balance of nature trails, wildlife watching and culture to your travel plans.

Hiking trails with clear destinations

All circular hiking routes around Schollbrunn start at the car park behind the wayside chapel on the road towards Rohrbrunn. This gives you a specific starting point for your hikes. Check the parking arrangements before you travel so your plans match local conditions.

The “Südlich des Äppeläquators” cultural circular route starts in Schollbrunn and is approximately 14 kilometres long. It passes the Markus Chapel on its way to Grünau Charterhouse. The route also includes the Kropfbachtal and reaches the Hasenstab Cross. Its approximate length gives you a clear indication for planning your day, while the named stops bring the route’s cultural focus to life.

Schollbrunn’s hiking trails lead into the landscapes of Spessart Nature Park. A cultural-history hiking trail offers a different historical focus, leading to an old iron hammer that is considered a 250-year-old smithy. The landscapes and historic destinations therefore offer different starting points for choosing your outings.

If you are travelling by car, you can reach Schollbrunn via the Rohrbrunn exit on the A3. The exit is 8 kilometres away. Before setting off, check the current route and the parking arrangements at the starting point for your hike.

Wildlife park and discoveries for children

The wildlife park in Schollbrunn is open to visitors free of charge all year round. Check the access information before your visit. The park is known for its red deer population; you can observe mouflons at close range in the enclosures. A wildlife enclosure associated with Schollbrunn also has fallow deer and wild boar.

The forest playground and wildlife enclosure are considered attractions for children. Scholli's Nature Trail combines several ways to explore: these include information boards, a photo wall, play stations and a race to compare your speed with woodland animals. The nature trail thus offers a mix of information, photo opportunities and hands-on activities.

The wildlife park and nature trail offer different experiences: the wildlife park focuses on observing animals in their enclosures, while Scholli's Nature Trail adds information boards, a photo wall and play stations. This helps you tailor your outing to whether your group wants to focus on wildlife watching or on exploring the different stations along the trail.

Churches and history along the way

Schollbrunn’s Evangelical Lutheran parish church is Neo-Gothic and dates from 1896. The interior of Martin Luther Church can be visited; confirm in advance that visits are possible. This lets you include a visit to the church as a distinct cultural highlight in your plans.

Grünau Charterhouse also adds a historical element to your route planning: it was a monastery dissolved in 1803 and is a destination on a route from Schollbrunn. Together with the old iron hammer and the parish church, it offers different ways to explore local and monastic history. If culture is important to you, you can consider these destinations alongside your hikes when choosing your outings.
