The tower at the ringfort stands at the top of a meadow slope northwest of Lorsbach. From there, one has a panoramic view over Lorsbach and the Lorsbach Valley. The tower takes its name from the Alteburg rampart located further up the hilltop. The wooden tower is 8.60 meters high. The viewing platform is at a height of 4.50 meters. The tower and the surrounding area are owned by the Lorsbach Local History Society. It was built according to plans by the late society member Emanuel Winkelmann. The tower was inaugurated on December 18, 2005. The tower at the ringfort is a popular destination for hikers and walkers. It is also easily accessible from Langenhain and Eppstein via hiking trails. The shortest route there leads from Lorsbach along the Alteburgweg trail.

The Gundelhard was built in 1910 by the Lorsbach building contractor Georg Fuchs. Initially, only non-alcoholic beverages were permitted. After the building was expanded, alcoholic beverages could also be sold from 1929 onwards. Throughout its history, the Gundelhard has remained a popular destination. We want to continue this tradition and, with our small menu, fulfill all your wishes with sustainable and fresh German cuisine.

The pond dammed by the Laubach in 1930 and today's Jacobiweiher is a highlight of the Oberschweinstiege.

Fantastic ambience in the middle of the forest. Lovely shaded terraces around a log house. Ideal for families. Absolutely top fresh, mega delicious food, regional and seasonal. (chanterelle dishes, green sauce...) Great value for money. Really nice and considerate service. In addition a light Paulaner on tap. Top recommendation!
