The Franconian poet Friedrich Rückert, who was born in Schweinfurt, spent his childhood in Seßlach. He often roamed through the forest; this seems to have been his favorite place.

The 143 km long Friedrich-Rückert-Weg leads along various stages of his life, from his birthplace in Schweinfurt through the low mountain range of the Haßberge, and thus past stations of his youth. Finally, you get to Coburg, Rückert's place of action and death. On the way you pass the Rückertstein, where Rückert will be. Wrote "Irrglöcklein im Wald" and loved to stay in this part of the forest.

Wonderful and beautiful what different colors the mosses and lichens on the rocks have.
