    Hiking

    From 1806 onwards, this was the state border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Saxony-Hildburghausen, and from 1826 to 1920 the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha. An official messenger commuted between the administrative offices on foot at least twice a week, each time covering almost 49 kilometres. The "Amtsbotenweg" is named after him.

    Here a plaque on a wooden pole reminds of the former border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Duchy of Saxony Coburg-Gotha.

    Anyone passing by will be surprised.
    Since 1683, the city of Königsberg had belonged to the Duchy of Saxony and was still a Protestant enclave in the entirely Catholic Lower Franconia. After a referendum, Königsberg became part of Bavaria with the Free State of Coburg in 1920.


    So that's why this sign is here. But it's almost like that.
