Above the Sinntal valley, the border between the federal states of Hesse and Bavaria, or the predecessor territories of the Kingdom of Prussia (initial KP) and the Kingdom of Bavaria (KB), runs here. The historical border stones from the 19th century have been preserved here in large parts. However, this is not the ancient border. The Bishopric of Fulda once included Brückenau and extended beyond that to Hammelburg. It was only with the dissolution of the Bishopric of Fulda and the new borders during and after the Napoleonic era that some offices came to Bavaria in 1816.

The historic **boundary stones between Bavaria and Prussia** in the forest near Bad Brückenau are a fascinating destination for hikers who like to combine nature with history. The hike leads through quiet, picturesque forests, where the well-preserved boundary stones from past centuries suddenly appear and remind us of an exciting era in German history. The stones, often with inscriptions and coats of arms, make the border between the former kingdoms tangible. A tour of these testimonies of the past is not only scenic, but also educational - perfect for explorers and history buffs!
