Very instructive and interesting. The water castle is also impressive. Should be visited.

An evangelical church that appears simple and unpretentious both inside and out. All the more reason for the organ, with its baroque facade, to be the eye-catcher. The instrument was replaced by a new one in 1896. However, the facade still dates from the Schlottmann organ from 1752. Johannes Schlottmann (1726-1795) temporarily ran his organ-building workshop here in Friedewald. He is a truly tragic figure in music history. Envy from competitors, but certainly also too little business acumen, repeatedly got him into difficulties, including insolvency and imprisonment. His Friedewald workshop was auctioned off, and he worked as a travelling organ builder. The organs that have survived from him are nevertheless of remarkable quality.

Among the shelters along the Rhön-Extratour "Dreienberg" trail, this one stands out particularly - besides the hut and outdoor seating, there is also a spring. Especially in summer, this shady spot is very pleasant. Although there is no view, the other shelters offer that.

Elsewhere on the Dreienberg-Extratour there are only individual benches and the space in the shelters is also rather limited. Here, therefore, everything is a bit more generous. But no roof and therefore no weather protection, if it were necessary.

Jams, eggs, ice cream and whatever the current season offers - here you can buy one or two original regional products after your hike.

A "Schlossblick-Bilderrahmen" (Castle View Picture Frame) here emphasizes the special view of Friedewald. However, the view through the tall trees is not quite as good. The view is significantly better at the shelter located a bit further south.
