In the 16th century, an iron smelter was built on the Holzberg by the von Thüngen noble family.

In 1954, the hunting lodge was bought by the current owners, the Meinschäfer family, and converted into a restaurant with guest rooms. In the cozy dining room, modeled on a knight's hall, you can still sit romantically in the light of petroleum lamps.

May 23, 2025,Jagdschloss Holzberghof – Rothsee Runde von Bischofsheim in der Rhön

A weekend in the Bavarian Rhön Mountains. Today we started at the Holzberghof hunting lodge, crossing Rhön meadows with Rhön sheep toward Rothsee. There we stopped for coffee, cake, and beer. It was a very idyllic setting with plenty of benches for resting around the lake. After a short climb, we returned to the hunting lodge.
