    Here on the road to Hatzbach (locally known as Butterweg), by the abandoned church, in the headwaters of a stream flowing towards Mengsberg, lay the village of Gerwigshain. The field name appears in 1555 as "Wüstung Gerwichshain" (a deserted village), in 1576 as "Gerbisheim", around 1614 as "Wüste Gerwigshain" (deserted village), and in 1708/10 as "Wüste Kirche" (deserted church). It's a wonderful place to take a break. A beautiful spot in the woods.

    The deserted area is an impressive place that vividly shows the local history. The information board provides good explanations. Furthermore, the place is a nice rest area.
