볼부르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 동굴

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!

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

Old castle in the town center

Beautiful old castle, unfortunately cannot be visited at the moment due to renovation work.

Successful building with a great view.

A new observation tower (a steel/wooden construction) was built on the Zabelstein 2 years ago. You have a great all-round view and boards describe what you can see. At the foot of the tower is a semi-open hut with a few benches and tables that provide shelter in bad weather. There are also toilets in another hut.

The listed Oberschwarzach Castle is located in Oberschwarzach, a market town in the district of Schweinfurt in Lower Franconia in Bavaria. The building is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments under monument number D-6-78-164-12. The former prince-bishop's office building was built under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn in 1614 in place of an older castle belonging to the Truchsess von Henneberg. The three-storey building in the Renaissance style is covered with a gable roof, the two round, four-storey corner towers with bell domes. The narrow sides each have a stepped gable. On the courtyard side there is a polygonal stair tower. In addition to the castle, the building ensemble includes an inner courtyard with a barn, other farm buildings and the garden.
