Townscape

Thanks to its high plateau location, Heinrichsthal has an unusual appearance for a Spessartorte and is not - as the name suggests - in a typical Spessart valley. The streets go in a star shape from the village square to the comparatively gentle heights of the village. Since tourism has never played a role in Heinrichsthal, the townscape is predominantly characterized by one- and two-family houses.
