A large castle once stood on the Schlossberg above Zell am Main. After the castle was destroyed in the Peasants' War, the residents of Zell use the ruins as a quarry. Hardly any traces can be found today. But from up here you have a great view over the vineyards and over Zell.

Mountain biking

The Schlossberg is not as high as the Ebersberg, but from my point of view, the more beautiful view.

Hiking

There are many picnic areas up here and various information boards about the former castle, the Steigerwald panorama trail and the view
