Zabelstein Observation Tower and Ruins

Highlight • Viewpoint

On top of the 475 meter high Zabelstein is an observation tower accessible at all times. On its platform high above the treetops you have a unique view over the northern Steigerwald and the surrounding landscape. The view sweeps over the Schweinfurt basin and in good visibility to the 80 kilometers far away Rhön.

Zabelstein Nature and Biotope Trail

Highlight • Trail

The new observation tower offers a beautiful view of the Main Valley and the edge of the Steigerwald. The new tower should have been built a few meters higher so that the view is not restricted by the trees. A few more years and you'll sooner be able to admire the treetops 🙄
