    Original pavement of the trade route Frankfurt - Leipzig, between Bad Soden Salmünster and Steinau an der Strasse, recovered in 2002, installed here in 2006.

      Originally, this old part of the road was hidden in the Kinzigtalsperre. Discovered by chance during construction work in 2002, dug up conspicuously and positioned in front of the museum.

        It is very interesting and informative how the roads were built back then, great.
