Located within the municipal territory is the Hermannskoppe, the highest elevation in the Hessian part of the Spessart and the Wiesbüttmoor, a rare hanging bog.

[4]: 62–3 Other locations in Flörsbachtal include the Bergfeld, an agricultural area in a clearing mostly surrounded by forest and the hill Wellersberg [de].

The hill Hermannskoppe, the highest point in the Hessian part of the Spessart and over which runs the Bavarian-Hessian border, is also located in the municipal territory.

Flörsbachtal has the followings Ortsteile (originally independent villages, population numbers for 2011):[3] The seat of the municipal administration is in Lohrhaupten.

Likely in use since prehistoric times, by the early Middle Ages these two routes, which meet near the area known as Wiesbütt, had become of great strategic and logistical importance.

[5] Around 980, a description of the Aschaffenburg forest mentioned a Fleredesfelt which may be interpreted to refer to the Flörsbacher Höhe, an elevation to the east of the village, or a nearby settlement.

[9] Half of the village was given as a fief to the Counts of Rieneck by Mainz, but by 1333 at the latest it had been transferred by marriage or as inheritance to the Lords of Hanau.

It was only established in 1768, following a 1765 declaration by Wilhelm, the then heir apparent of Hanau, who was trying to stop the wave of emigration by the impoverished population.

[14] From 1787, all the villages of Flörsbachtal belonged to the Amt Lohrhaupten of the Grafschaft Hanau-Münzenberg, which in 1736 had become a part of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel.

In 1810, the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt was established as another client state of France and the villages became part of its Departement Hanau, Distrikt Bieber.

Besides the nature preserves, hiking and biking facilities of the surrounding forests, the villages also offer a few historic buildings:

Like in other communities in the area, such as Biebergemünd, Bad Orb and Jossgrund, there is currently controversy over plans to build towering wind farms on the wooded peaks around Flörsbachtal.
