Stork nest on the chimney in Bad Rodach

Highlight • Structure

For a long time, Master Adebar was considered a harbinger of spring. When he returned after the winter, people knew that the cold and snow were over. But since more and more storks are no longer flying south over the winter - in the Coburg region, eight forego the strenuous flight - the sight of a stork is no longer a reliable herald of the milder season. And now storks are also returning from warmer climes earlier and earlier. The resident stork was spotted on her nest in Thermalbadstrasse in Bad Rodach in the middle of last week, as stork representative Hans Schönecker reported, referring to the ring number DER AJ032. She was also already stalking through the Rodach meadows in search of food. This makes her the first returnee in the Coburg region. A year ago, she was also the first to return home - she moved back into her quarters on February 1st.

Billmuthausen Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

In September 2005, the memorial's support association erected a three-ton millstone to commemorate the Billmuthausen Mill. The memorial has also been expanded with three new information panels.

This former millstone is the only reminder of the former Billmuthausen mill. Billmuthausen was once a village directly on the border and was razed.

Billmuthausen is a deserted village in the Bad Colberg district of the town of Heldburg in the Hildburghausen district of Thuringia.

Market Fountain, Ummerstadt

Highlight • Monument

Parts of the Luther film were also shot on the market square in Ummerstadt. The sloping marketplace and the well-preserved half-timbered houses provided the necessary environment for this. Numerous scenery constructions/changes to buildings and the fountain were made for this purpose, so that everything looks medieval. I have attached a picture of it. The fountain is completely boarded up and serves as a pedestal for the indulgence dealer. He speaks to the fictional community of Jüterborg.
If you know that, a real highlight.

Here is an interesting link about it:

Ummerstadt Historic Town Center

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

this is a very nice section on the former inner-German border. It is mostly very quiet and there are very few cars. This section is highly recommended, especially in the evening.

Former Inner German Border Marker

Highlight • Historical Site

Coming from Gemünda or Ummerstadt you drive past it directly in the curve at the Gehegsmühle. From there you can follow the path uphill into the forest and continue to Neundorf. You save yourself the way via Dittersdorf.

Gemünda Village and Half-Timbered Houses

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful little village with half-timbered houses not far from the Thuringian border. A ride through with the racing bike is definitely worthwhile. The parish hall with the smithy (unfortunately not photographed) and the church are particularly worth seeing.

Overall, the section Merlach - Autenhausen - Gemünda can be driven.

Memorial Stone for Ernst Herr

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

yes, the asphalt on this section is not super great for the RR, but everything is ridable without hesitation.

Still, I find the section to be recommended because it is not immediately recognizable for a non-local like me, because it saves me a large part of the main road and because it simply leads wonderfully quietly through beautiful nature!

There is also a memorial stone on the path to a farmer who was struck by lightning

Tambach Castle

Highlight • Castle

However, with secularization, the Langheim monastery office and the Tambach Castle monastery office were dissolved. Tambach Castle fell to the Bavarian royal house in 1803 and to the House of Ortenburg in 1806 in exchange for the County of Ortenburg in Lower Bavaria. Tambach Castle only acquired its current appearance at the beginning of the 20th century. The original fountains by the Bamberg sculptor Michael Trautmann (1742-1809) were removed when the Protestant Counts of Ortenburg moved in and distributed to the communities of Neuendorf and Hergramsdorf. The current fountain in the castle courtyard was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

The private castle church in the castle is open to the public and can be accessed from the castle courtyard. The church can be booked for weddings and baptisms.
