    30 kilometers south of Nuremberg, near the village of Eckersmühlen, is the former Schäff-Eisenhammer. This gem of industrial history on the Roth is now a museum – a living museum that impressively demonstrates the art of hammer forging and how to handle red-hot iron. For five generations, the iron hammer was owned by the Schäff family, a widespread hammersmith dynasty.

    The Eisenhammer is very idyllically situated in a beautiful valley. There is a seat on the Eisenhammer. Guided tours are offered (see info on the pictures). There are also several hiking trails here.
