Beschrijving
On the circular trail through Zeller Forst (length 10 km) there are good chances to see or hear Bonte Vliegenvanger, Withalsvliegenvanger, Zwarte Specht, Middelste Bonte Specht, Appelvink, Vuurgoudhaan and Fluiter. For some years the Kleine Vliegenvanger has been heard singing (absent in 2020). It is believed to be at least an irregular breeder in the Steigerwald. The circular route is admittedly long, however there is no real shortcut. If you don't have much time turn around after the first 2 or 3 km on the "Schlangenweg". In the valley pay furthermore attention to possible flying over Wespendief.
As of 2020 the former hiking car park is closed. You have to find a parking space in the village centre and walk the "Böhlstraße" (closed for public use) to the former car park (250 m). On the left you find a wooden sign post "Schlangenweg" marking the start of the "real" tour.
