A very pleasant rest area at the Holzhausen/Pfändhausen/Hambach intersection, featuring a cross-bearer. A cross-bearer (also known as a cross-carrying figure or cross-slinger; colloquially called a cross-beater or cross-sleeper[1]) is a depiction of Christ carrying the cross as a freestanding figure. This distinctive form of wayside shrine, which emerged in the 17th century, is particularly widespread in Franconia and is a prominent feature of the landscape, especially in the Catholic dioceses of Bamberg and Würzburg.

On the edge of the so-called Salzforst (Salt Forest) near Bad Neustadt lies a Marian pilgrimage site worth a visit, especially for its tranquil location off the beaten track: Unterebersbach, romantically nestled on the upper reaches of the Saale River, attracts visitors with its unassuming yet beautiful pilgrimage and parish church of the Annunciation of Mary. According to legend, the small church was built in thanksgiving for the miraculous rescue of a hunter who had become hopelessly lost in the Salzforst (Salt Forest). Furthermore, the cozy church is also popularly known as the Church of the Snows. Since 1723, a copy of the highly venerated image of the "Salus Populi Romani" from the Roman church of Santa Maria Maggiore has hung here, commemorating the legendary Miracle of the Snows.
