Shops and restaurants are located all around the market square. The individual buildings from different eras, including the half-timbered houses, are also worth seeing. There are plenty of places to sit around the water features. Weather permitting, restaurants also set up outdoor seating in the market square.

Unfortunately, it was already our last day. A nice farewell tour at the end with the "best Thuringian bratwurst" in Ostheim. Highly recommended. 🍣🤩

1 x across the Rhön. In Oberelsbach we had a good breakfast at the Lenhardt bakery.

We continued via Unterelsbach, Bastheim, Geckenau to Unsleben to Roswitha Amschler's natural garden (open to every garden lover free of charge) and on to Heustreu up to the Harvest Crown. 👑 What a great view over the Streutal to the Hochrhön. MEGA.

Today we did a tour that I've had on my bucket list for a long time. We drove to Fladungen and then cycled to Bad Neustadt and back. The way there led us via Heufurt, Nordheim and Ostheim first to Mellrichstadt and then on to Bad Neustadt. A super developed cycle path - the Streutal cycle path.
