ズルツドルフアンデアレデルヘッケ周辺のおすすめバス停からハイキング＆ウォーキング

This used to be a common sight in villages!

The panel provides information about the Green Belt (the former border), its structure, and the natural environment that has developed within the former protective strip. It's interesting and worth reading.

Beautiful landscape along the patrol routes

The first sandstone spring casing from the 1940s was redesigned in 1973 and acquired its current representative appearance in 1985. A bronze plaque by Erich Husemann from Trappstadt has commemorated the importance of the Franconian Saale since 1987. The spring stream flows southwest through Alsleben, where it joins the Fleusengraben, and joins the left source stream north of Bad Königshofen-Untereßfeld.

The Franconian Saale originates in the Grabfeld near the Haßberge Mountains, east and southeast of Bad Königshofen, respectively, from two roughly equal, 3.9 km long source streams: Its right and northern source streams originate from the Saalbrunnen (not to be confused with the Saalbrunnen, also located in Franconia), approximately 1.7 kilometers east of Alsleben, a district of Trappstadt. The spring is located in an open field, less than 500 meters from the Thuringian border, just off the NES 45 district road, which leads to Gompertshausen. The young Franconian Saale rises there at 313 meters above sea level, below the Kapellenberg (390 meters above sea level). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A4nkische_Saale

This beautiful, colorfully painted wayside shrine with a cross stands just below the St. Ursula Chapel and is very magnificently designed.

The two sides of this shrine – which strikes the passing cyclist in unexpected splendor – depict the following motifs: + The Blessed Virgin Mary, presented to the viewer as Queen of Heaven. At the top of the image is the dove of the Holy Spirit, then God the Father and God the Son holding the crown, with Mary kneeling between them. + Saint Ursula, holding a bundle of arrows as a symbol of martyrdom, and several of her companions depicted in a significantly smaller size. Although Ursula is not a Rhenish saint, but – according to legend – a royal daughter from Britain, she is venerated primarily in Cologne, where she and her companions were martyred and buried.

Many people will probably simply roll past such a small sacred monument, as it presents itself here in the shade of the mighty trees only to the attentive biker, without paying much attention to the depiction of the cross. But from my – admittedly purely subjective – perspective, the stone image bearing the date 1774, which depicts Christ fallen under the weight of the cross, certainly deserves a short break along the way.
