ドーバースドルフのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

South of the castle park, a white bridge leads through the forest over the Hagener Au.

Incidentally, if it weren't for the large, yellow sign pointing to an archaeological monument, you would simply walk right past it. You see nothing but a bend in the path and a trail through the bushes with a small side path and a view of the lake.

On the southern shore of Lake Dobersdorf, in the Jasdorf district, lie the remains of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle. The mound, approximately 30 meters wide and 5 meters high, was originally surrounded by a ditch and rampart. During World War II, the northern section was significantly altered by a bomb hit and subsequent earthworks; the ditch there has now been widened into a pond. So says the information panel, but there's no sign of it! The site is dated to the 13th-14th century and has been a protected historical monument since 1968.

The sign – and thus the highlight – is misleading: there is no longer a bridge here. And therefore, no crooked one either. However, there is another sign further north: Crooked Bridge.

Here is a small, shady access point to the lake. There are several really nice swimming spots elsewhere on the lake.

The village street is situated on a slight rise, so from here you have a great view across the lake towards the west.

The natural area features numerous protected areas in almost all protection categories. Only a small number of areas are designated as true nature reserves, including the Alter und Neuer See bird sanctuary south of Sulzheim-Mönchstockheim. Another larger area is the Dürrfelder and Sulzheimer Wald fauna-flora habitat, which is also one of the largest forest areas within the Steigerwald foothills. The area is also part of the Schweinfurt Basin and Northern Steigerwald Foothills bird sanctuary.

Swimming spots and opportunities to rest give you additional enjoyment with peace and serenity 😊...
