Tips
As the name implies - the Ochsenfurter Tour leads from Sommerhausen to Ochsenfurt. Crowned by a dome with bells, the gate is a popular photo opportunity in the beautiful town of Sommerhausen. Until 1945, there were still the old oak gates with "Einpfuppfpförtchen" present. For the pedestrians, passages were created left and right after the war. sommerhausen.de/historie.html

Part of the town fortifications. The customs house in front was only built in the 18th century. The tower was expanded in the 19th century and added a bell tower and a clock.
