Weißfichtensee

Highlight • Lake

On the edge of the forest behind the Welkendorf district, the Weißfichtensee with its lawn and numerous seating areas invites you to linger in nature.

The small lake is located on the edge of the forest behind the Welkendorf district and
is also suitable for boating. The Haßberge Nature Park has created a local recreation area around the lake with a jetty, picnic tables, fire pits, information board,
shelter and play equipment. Unfortunately, overnight stays and camping are
not permitted.

The Göller brewery “Zur Alten Freyung” and the traditional restaurant “Zum Hirschen” have been family-owned since 1908. In the Middle Ages, this house was granted the real right to brew and serve alcohol by the Archbishopric of Bamberg. As a reminder of its former function as a “sanctuary”, the following saying can be found on the “Alte Freyung”:

WHOEVER FLEETS INTO THIS PLACE AFTER WHAT HE HAS DONE,
HAS PEACE IN IT,
BECAUSE HE IS IN IT.


No secular judge had the right to exercise his office there. The special status of the house goes back to a foundation by the Bamberg Emperor Henry the Second and his wife Kunigunde. Both are therefore symbolically represented in the brewery’s coat of arms.

Zeil on the Main

Highlight • Settlement

Zeil has a lot to offer.
There is the Käpperla, the church on the mountain above Zeil, the Zeil local church with its unique chapel. Please have a look.
The Zeiler Hexenturm tells of the witch hunt in the area.
The vineyards and the wine festival in summer enliven the city and it is just as interesting as on the Sandkerwa in Bamberg.
Personally, I also think the historical buildings and the remains of the city wall are very worth seeing. And you wouldn't suspect it, but there are some fish farmers around Zeil


In Göller you can eat very well Franconian and drink your own beer. There are also wonderful wine taverns.

These are just some of the most beautiful highlights.

Historic Old Town of Zeil am Main

Highlight • Historical Site

Not far from the World Heritage city of Bamberg, the picturesque half-timbered town of Zeil a.Main is in a charming location in the Main valley at the foot of the Haßberge mountains. (5,600 inhabitants, 312 m above sea level, first mentioned in 1018)

At the junction of wine and beer Franconia, there is a lot to discover and enjoy in terms of cuisine and culture. The historic old town enchants with its artistic half-timbered architecture on the unique market square and in the winding alleys and streets.

The remains of the city wall and the mighty city tower made of local sandstone bear witness to a rich and eventful history. Since 2011, this has been part of the "Zeiler Hexenturm" documentation center with exhibition rooms on the persecution of witches during the Thirty Years' War.

The house with a face. When we drove past here as children, we had a competition to see who would discover the house first. What could be in there...?

A few years ago I saw the house up close. It has no rear wall at the back and is only used for storing devices.
