A bit narrow in places, but the surface is good. There are often beautiful views over the river.

A beautiful path leads all the way around Lower Franconia's largest lake. The lake is a great place for a break. You can grab a snack at the kiosk and, if the weather's nice, sit on the sandy beach.

The church in Ermershausen was dedicated to Saint Peter. Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he, along with his brother Andrew, was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men." According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two-millennia-long line of popes—currently Leo XIV—follows his succession. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted holding two keys. This attribute refers to the biblical passage in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). Peter, along with Paul, is also known as the "Prince of the Apostles"; their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

Freight traffic was discontinued on September 24, 1994, and passenger train service on July 31, 1995. Following approval by the Federal Railway Authority on September 19, 1995,[3] the line was closed on December 1, 1995. Dismantling was completed in January 1997.[2] The former station building in Hofheim has housed a small railway museum[4] on the history of the line and the railway in general since 1976.

On August 1, 1852, the railway reached Haßfurt with the Ludwigs-West-Bahn (Ludwigs-West Railway). It wasn't until forty years later, on March 15, 1892, that the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the secondary line to Hofheim.[2] The basis for this was a treaty between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which ensured co-financing by the Saxon enclave of Königsberg and a corresponding route. Therefore, the line was not built directly from Haßfurt to Hofheim along the Nassach River, but a detour via Königsberg with a more complex route was chosen.[2] In 1965, the Haßfurt Gymnasium stop was built with a new school center, which ensured high passenger numbers for a long time.
