The Krupps of the Spessart
Follow in the footsteps of the "Krupps des Spessarts"
Known for its vast forests and picturesque landscapes, the Spessart also holds a fascinating industrial past that is deeply rooted in iron working. Visit the Eisenhammer Hasloch and the industrial monument Höllhammer, two living museums that impressively present the traditional history of iron processing in the region.
These historic sites, where the water wheel and working forge hammers once formed the heart of this thriving industry, are now fascinating witnesses to the Spessart's industrial past. Explore the sites of former charcoal piles on well-signposted nature trails and learn more about the techniques and people who shaped the iron industry in the Spessart.
