The Schwedenschanze is located near Eichelsdorf on the crest of the Haßberge and thus also on the Rennweg. A ring wall that was built around 500 BC and was probably already used by the Celts as a place of worship and refuge. Today you can enjoy a great view over the Haßberge from a 28 meter high observation tower and stop off at the Dr.-Krahmer Hütte.

At Hofheim above Eichelsdorf, at 487 meters above sea level, there was a prehistoric refuge. The ring-like fortifications of this defense system can still be seen in the terrain as earth walls and their function can be reconstructed. From the lookout tower, which was built in 2001, you have a beautiful view of the "Hofheim Basin", the Bavarian and Thuringian Rhön, Franconian Alb, Steigerwald and Schweinfurter Land.

Tower opening hours: mid-April to mid-October
