    Hiking

    Very close to the Volsbach, people settled, first mentioned in documents in 1281, built at least 7 glassworks and used the available raw materials water, quartz sand and forest to create mainly club and rod glasses. The place lost importance and was abandoned. Today, a small wood at the foot of the Zehnsberg bears witness to the deserted settlement.
