The Beilstein is a large basalt rock. Remains of a former hilltop castle can still be seen on the summit plateau.

For hiking enthusiasts, there is the "Spessartbogen", a hiking trail that starts from the Stackenberg and offers wonderful views of orchards and the Rhön. Another highlight is the nature trail that the NABU local group has created in the village to make natural themes such as the insect wall for solitary bees and wasps and a dry stone wall come to life.
