Where to stay in Zerzabelshof
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Five burial mounds lie in the Zerzabelshofer Forst. That is the flavour of Zerzabelshof, old ground, quarried slopes at the Schmausenbuck, a settlement site logged over in the Laufamholzer Forst, spread through six and a half square kilometres that hold far more tree than hotel. The forest here rents no rooms. Nuremberg is the practical base, and the Buchenklinge is a walk rather than a stay.

About Zerzabelshof
What are the main landmarks in Zerzabelshof?
Nine entries make the Zerzabelshof list, and most of them are archaeological rather than architectural: five burial mounds inside the Zerzabelshofer Forst, a settlement site in the Laufamholzer Forst, and the worked stone of the Steinbrüche am Schmausenbuck. The Buchenklinge joins them. One further heritage entry is registered without a name.
Nothing on that list is a building a visitor would queue for.
What is the history of Zerzabelshof?
Burial mounds come first here. Five of them sit inside the Zerzabelshofer Forst, and a separate settlement site is logged in the Laufamholzer Forst, so the oldest recorded traces of Zerzabelshof are in the woods rather than the streets. Quarry faces cut the Schmausenbuck.
The register carries no founding year for the district, only the marks people left on six and a half square kilometres.
Where is Zerzabelshof?
Zerzabelshof covers six and a half square kilometres of Nuremberg, taking in the Schmausenbuck and running out into the Zerzabelshofer Forst.
