Forest Path Between Waldfriedhof and Sternberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Shortcuts are always worthwhile, especially this route. It runs almost flat from the Waldfriedhof to Sternberg and is very easy to ride.

Source of the Franconian Saale (Alsleben) with rest area and information board

Highlight • River

The Franconian Saale originates in the Grabfeld near the Haßberge Mountains, east and southeast of Bad Königshofen, respectively, from two roughly equal, 3.9 km long source streams:

Its right and northern source streams originate from the Saalbrunnen (not to be confused with the Saalbrunnen, also located in Franconia), approximately 1.7 kilometers east of Alsleben, a district of Trappstadt. The spring is located in an open field, less than 500 meters from the Thuringian border, just off the NES 45 district road, which leads to Gompertshausen. The young Franconian Saale rises there at 313 meters above sea level, below the Kapellenberg (390 meters above sea level).

Brünnle Breitensee Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

This fountain was repaired by the residents of Breitensee themselves and now serves as a hiking destination or rest stop during walks. A cool refreshing place, especially in summer.

Market Square, Bad Königshofen

Highlight • Settlement

The focal point of Bad Königshofen is the large market square with its three ornamental fountains: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Röhrenbrunnen (Tube Fountain), and the Michaelsbrunnen (Michael Fountain), above which the wrought-iron angel "floats." The Vierröhrenbrunnen (Four-Tube Fountain) in front of the Schlundhaus (Thrush House) was fed by a water pipe even before the Thirty Years' War, making it an important part of the town. Also located on the market square is the medieval Kornstein (cornstone) from 1525, which formerly served as a grain measuring device.

Salzloch – Southern Spring of the Franconian Saale

Highlight • River

One of the two source rivers of the Franconian Saale is the Saalbrunnen, which rises between Alsleben and Gompertshausen. The Salzloch near the Heckenmühle near Obereßfeld is the second source river. The Salzloch and Saalbrunnen join near Untereßfeld to form the Franconian Saale, which meanders 135 km through Bad Königshofen, Bad Neustadt, and Bad Kissingen to Gemünden. There, the Franconian Saale flows into the Main River.
There are several Saale rivers in the German-speaking region. "Sala" and "Salu" first appear in a charter book of the Fulda Monastery in 777. The first mill on the young Saale was the Heckenmühle, located just a few meters from its source and mentioned as early as 1317. Near Alsleben, the first mill on the Saale was the Apothekersmühle (pharmacist's mill) or the Alslebener Gemeindemühle (municipal mill).
