A beautiful wayside shrine with a picnic table and benches next to it for resting.

Here you can take a break

A shrine depicting the Fourteen Holy Helpers dates from 1844. Perhaps the shrine dates back to an older one donated after the Thirty Years' War.

The farms first documented in the 14th century belonged to the nearby Zabelstein Castle complex. However, agricultural conditions on the ridge were not favorable, and the farms were abandoned around 1840. Remains include the preserved cistern, the dried-up village pond, and some remains of walls. The fields and meadows are now all overgrown with forests.

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.

Ideal place for a break.
