The Fortbach farm was first mentioned in 1375 as a farm on the "Ford-Beschirr-Weg". He was the Vorwerk of the monastery Hachborn. The Fortbach estate belonged to the Hachborn monastery until the 16th century. Then it went into private ownership. There is also a distillery on the farm.

Hiking

The beautiful Hofgut Fortbach, which belongs to the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund, is located in the green and directly on the "Ebsdorfergrund circular hiking trail". You inevitably stop and admire the huge courtyard entrance.

The goal is always worth it. Wonderful view to the Amöneburg. It's just a shame that you can't stop there. Unfortunately, Hofgut Fortbach is no longer managed. The restaurant "Zum schwarzen Mann" is also in the immediate vicinity. Also worthwhile.
