Tips
If you drive on the A4 from Bad Hersfeld to Friedewald, just before the exit you will see on your right the remains of the church tower of the village of Gosselndorf, which fell into ruin in the 14th century.

The village was first documented in 1183 as "the mill with accessories of Gozzelendorf." South of the highway, on a forest meadow, the ruins of the Gißlingskirche church have been preserved. The almost square choir tower, as the remains of the rib arches' attachment points reveal, was vaulted and accessible through the demolished church hall.
