The Heldburger Gangschar is a tertiary volcanic system in the Franconian parts of northern Bavaria and southern Thuringia. It is named after the small town of Heldburg, whose surrounding area, the Heldburger Land, belongs entirely to the northern part of the volcanic zone. The term Gangschar refers to the fact that only a few of the volcanoes are still preserved as surface forms today, while their former activity can be proven by fissure fillings called "gangs". These gangs are mostly formed in a south-southwest direction, their cross-section is often less than one meter.

A new seating area has been set up at the foot of the Straufhain, along with a shelter and an information board on the "Historic Straufhain Castle Ruins." A very successful evaluation of the area, thanks to the Friends of Straufhain e.V. Every visitor can enjoy it.

Nice seating in the shade at the foot of the Straufhain. There is another shelter opposite. It is not without reason made of basalt stone that you can rest here. The Straufhain belongs to the former Heldburger Gangschar.
