The trees have grown so tall now that the beautiful view is almost completely obscured. What a shame!

In the market square of Schlitz stands the stone town hall, in whose council chamber decorated with coats of arms weddings are held, the market fountain built around 1600 with the figure of St. George later placed on it, the Ottoburg, the Ottoburg tavern and many beautiful half-timbered houses.

A quarry lake that invites you to swim and relax. Pfordter See, which is fed by groundwater, originated from a gravel pit and covers an area of approximately 11 hectares in the Fulda floodplain in the Pfordt district. The shore of Pfordter See is very steep in some places and flat in others. In the warmer months, the lake is popular for swimming. Even in dry summers, the water level remains almost constant.
