Old deserted Stelberg with church and other foundation walls. It is bordered by a large meadow, the Stelbergtriesch.

A few remains are reminiscent of the Stelberg desert.
Ars Natura has planted some trees.

Until the 14th century, the village of Stelberg was located on the Stellbergstriesch, the large meadow area in the background, and partly in the adjoining forest. It was first mentioned in 1155 in a document from the Breitenau monastery and for the last time in 1289. Right next to the station information board was the church of the village of Stelberg, easily recognizable by the low ramparts, and sunken ovens, which can be seen on two prominent hills. In the 19th century, several legends grew up around the deserted village of Stelberg.
