Nice place for a break. Rest bench and a rest bench with a table for a break 🥐🧀🥪🥚🧃☕.
From here you can follow the historical circular route through Rottenstein.

The Burgstall Rottenstein is hidden on the southern edge of the Haßberge, not far from Schweinfurt, and is an insider tip for anyone who enjoys hiking on historical paths through quiet forests. Between leaves and rocks, you will find the remains of an old castle complex, now overgrown with moss and wood ferns. The atmosphere here is uniquely peaceful, and an information board provides details about this historically significant place.

Sieben Wege Trailhead

Highlight • Parking

Cycle path signs are located at intersections and indicate the direction of your destination and the distance. The signs are also supplemented with small pictograms of the themed routes. It's good to know where to go if you don't have a navigation system.

Dicke Eiche Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

The natural monument "Dicke Eiche" is about 450 years old and stands on the road from Eichelsdorf to Rottenstein. Despite considerable signs of aging, the tree with its expansive and mossy branches provides an impressive sight.

Become a nice circular route. The paths are easy to walk, but you should be sure-footed and somewhat resilient because of the, for me, difference in altitude.
It's just a pity that the hospitality of the hut at the tower closed earlier that day (4:30 p.m.), because according to them nothing was going on anymore.
So I had to give …

Brigelke has chosen a nice tour in the Haßberge for today. After the detour to the castle and church (unfortunately not open) in Eichelsdorf, the ascent went past the source through the forest to the Schwedenschanze, from where we could enjoy the wide view from the tower. After a short rest with a cool juice spritzer and a walk around …
