Ospis, Mountain summit in Lower Franconia, Bavaria, Germany.
Ospis is a mountain summit in Lower Franconia that rises 439 meters above sea level and sits within the Naturpark Spessart. Forested paths wind through the landscape of Miltenberg county, creating a network of hiking routes.
The Ospis lies on the Eselsweg, a trade route used since the Middle Ages and now a hiking trail. The summit, at 439 m, is the highest point in the Großheubach municipal area. A masonry summit cross has stood on the peak since 2007, placed directly on the Eselsweg.
The Eselsweg crossing the Ospis is a medieval trade route, once used by pack donkeys carrying goods, that is now a long-distance hiking trail. The summit cross placed in 2007 stands directly on this path, so walkers pass it on the historic route itself.
Several hiking routes of different difficulty levels start from Großheubach, including a moderate path that covers roughly 15 kilometers. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and dress for forest conditions when walking these trails.
The 2007 masonry cross stands right on the Eselsweg, the medieval trade route that crosses the summit. The trail once carried pack donkeys between the Spessart and the Main valley; today hikers following it pass the cross without leaving the historic route.
