The natural area features numerous protected areas in almost all protection categories. Only a small number of areas are designated as true nature reserves, including the Alter und Neuer See bird sanctuary south of Sulzheim-Mönchstockheim. Another larger area is the Dürrfelder and Sulzheimer Wald fauna-flora habitat, which is also one of the largest forest areas within the Steigerwald foothills. The area is also part of the Schweinfurt Basin and Northern Steigerwald Foothills bird sanctuary.

The ever-popular straw figures stand at the large village pond during the Probsteier Korntage. This year it is Alf. Before that it was, among other things, Werner, a Viking ship,... There is also the Angus Hof Stoltenberg/Frick near the village pond with its own farm shop. It's not far to Stakendorf Beach, where you can eat delicious food at the various fish stalls with a view of the Baltic Sea.
