In Hofheim, cyclists first encounter the former station building. The Haßfurt–Hofheim railway line was a single-track, 15.49-kilometer-long branch line from Haßfurt to Hofheim in Lower Franconia. Locally, it was also known as the "Hofheimerle." The line was closed in 1995 and sections of it have been converted into a railway cycle path, which forms part of the Haßfurt–Meiningen cycle route.

The air in the pavilion has a salt content of about 25%, which moisturizes and positively influences the respiratory tract. I found it pleasant 😊

A beautiful historic market square, well-preserved and restored half-timbered houses, a few cafes and ice cream parlors invite you to sit outside in the summer.
