Abtswind Reed Sandstone Quarry

Highlight • Structure

The green reed sandstone is mined here to this day. As early as the Middle Ages, builders / artists used the Abtswinder reed sandstone for its high quality and unusual color, as it was easy to work with despite its very good durability.
To this day, this stone not only characterizes the house facades in Abtswind, but also some artistic stone carvings. So z. B. a beautiful sandstone portal from 1747 the entrance to the town hall.
Balthasar Neumann also prefers the Abtswind sandstone for his buildings. Both he and the sculptor Ferdinand Dietz came to Abtswind personally to choose suitable stone blocks. Dietz manufactured, among other things. the figures of saints on the Old Main Bridge in Würzburg. Other famous buildings are the Bamberg Rider and the Dresden Zwinger.

Friedrichsberg Hunting Lodge and Former Forest Tavern Zum Goldenen Reh

Highlight • Historical Site

The Waldschenke, a popular restaurant for hikers, has been closed since 2006. Economic reasons had made the difference. Around € 300,000 would have been necessary as an investment. The viewing platform offers a fantastic view.

View from the Frankenblick over the vineyards of Abtswind

Highlight • Viewpoint

Below the Friedrichsberg and amidst lush vineyards you will find the viewpoint Frankenblick. Your view wanders over the Steigerwald, the Steigerwaldvorland and with good visibility to the Rhön. A perfect place for a rest, especially thanks to the cozy benches.

For all lovers: Up here you can even get married.

Liebespfad Abtswind

Highlight • Trail

This path winds through forest and sunken paths. There are beautiful viewpoints every now and then. Signs with sayings make you smile or make you think. There are places to sit every now and then. But be careful... a section of the path is also quite steep and can be a bit difficult for inexperienced hikers.
