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.

From here you can see quite far into the distance.
The route is also known from the "Hauenstein mountain race" that is held here every year.
Also makes you want to go downhill with the bike. 😄
