The Breitung Landwehr is a section of the Henneberg Landwehr, which is over 60* km long. It begins at the Hohe Klinge near Laudenbach and runs through the territories of the Henneberg municipalities of Frauen-breitungen, Sand, Fischberg and Kaltennordheim to the Hohe Rhön and borders the county of Henneberg-Schleusingen in a northwesterly direction. The complex, built in the 15th century, consisted of a deep ditch with a rampart, sometimes several ditches and ramparts, reinforced by hedges made up of trees and bushes on both sides. Important paths and connecting roads were given special passages called beats. (…from information board)

Hut on site and if I'm not mistaken, also a stamp station.
