The village church of Theinheim

At just under 20 meters, the Zabelstein observation tower isn't all that tall, but its gratings in the floor and on the balustrade create a somehow incredibly airy feeling. The view is fantastic. Even if you can't see the Main River itself, you still have a wonderful view of the Main Valley. On a clear day, the Thuringian Forest, the Gramschatz Forest, and Franconian Switzerland can be seen on the horizon. The tower is the great-grandchild of the first observation tower on Zabelstein. The first tower (1956-1978) resembled a 15-meter-high hunter's lodge. The second (1978-1999) and third towers (1999-2019) were also made of wood. The new tower, erected in 2020, is the aforementioned grating structure, framed by wooden struts that widen outwards.

The Zabelstein ruins are a wonderful place. The remains of the castle, the rest area with kiosk and the observation tower are inviting. A childhood memory!

Not far from the real highlight of the area, the Zabelstein castle ruins, a beautiful narrow forest path leads along the hill.

Many stone men or stone towers stacked on top of each other. People have put a lot of effort into this

Beautiful views in all directions, for example to the Schwanberg.

In the middle of the forest is the toilet with two cabins. Makes a clean impression.
