Former Charcoal Kiln at Zabelstein

Highlight • Monument

The Zigeunerhütte is on the right in the forest after about 3 km. Shortly before the Zabelstein ruins, there is a coal pile on the right. This was in operation until after the Second World War. In 1974 this was renovated by the Steigerwald National Park. It consisted of two combustion chambers with 3 and 6 sterile wood capacities. The wood coal contained 90% carbon and was used for steel production and processing.
A few meters further on you can still see the fountain that supplied the settlement on Zabelstein with water.
A radio station can be seen on the right hand side.

Zabelsteiner Höfe Rest Area and Well

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

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.

Beech forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Originally over 90 percent of the Steigerwald was covered with beech forest. Massive deforestation has caused a dramatic decline in beeches over the centuries, often replaced by faster-growing softwoods. In the north of the Steigerwald you can still find extensive beech forests, which you can explore on countless hiking trails.
