Guttenberg Forest
The Guttenberger Forest (often also Guttenberger Forest ) is a district and predominantly uninhabited community-free forest area in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg . The name is derived from the Frankish noble family Guttenberg .
Together with the Irtenberg Forest , the Guttenberg Forest is designated as a 3,994.01 hectare FFH area.
geography
The Guttenberger Forest is located in the southwest of the city of Würzburg , west of the Steinbachtal district, and also borders the communities of Höchberg , Kist , Kleinrinderfeld , Kirchheim , Geroldshausen and Reichenberg , all of which are in the Würzburg district. The size of the area is 18.07 km².
North of the municipality of Kirchheim there is a smaller forest area that is also included in the Guttenberger Forest. It is only separated from the main area by a 280 meter wide strip in which the Maisenbachhof belonging to Kleinrinderfeld is located. This exclave of the Guttenberg Forest also borders the Main-Tauber district in Baden-Württemberg .
The federal motorway 3 runs through the Guttenberger Wald , over which a green bridge runs in the forest area. There is also a motorway parking lot in the Guttenberger Forest in both directions , but it is within the boundaries of the city of Würzburg.
Others
In the Guttenberg Forest, on the district road between Reichenberg and Kist, lies the Guttenberg Forestry House ( Lage ) as an exclave of the Reichenberg community. There is a beer garden, a mini golf course and a forest adventure trail on which a 17.5 m high oak observation tower was built in 2015 . Not far from there are the remains of Guttenberg Castle and to the north-northeast are the remains of the Guttenberg Tower Castle . A bus line runs from Würzburg through Reichenberg and the Guttenberger Forest to the Guttenberg Forestry House.
The construction work on a forest cemetery complex in Guttenberg Forest, which was started in 1935 and which was scheduled to open in May 1936, was soon stopped due to a lack of labor.
