Reutberg Field of Steles

Highlight • Monument

The five-meter-high sculptures tower impressively. But their location on the Reutberg is noteworthy for another reason as well. It offers a sweeping view of Mellrichstadt and the surrounding area, all the way to the Rhön Mountains. This hill already had a special significance 500 years ago. A watchtower likely stood there, or at least nearby. A kind of signal station that served as a military defense for the town of Mellrichstadt. Anyone who visits the field of stelae will clearly understand the significance of the site.

Many already do. The hill has become a popular destination for walkers, hikers, and cyclists. An ideal location for a remarkable art project.

The Reutberg offers a sweeping view of Mellrichstadt and the surrounding area, extending into the Rhön Mountains. This hill thus had a special significance even 500 years ago.

Marketplace Mellrichstadt

Highlight • Monument

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.

Steinmühle Mellrichstadt

Highlight • Monument

The stone mill in Mellrichstadt was owned by the Premonstratensian monastery of Hausen. At the end of the 14th century, it was sold to the hospital in Mellrichstadt. In 1437, the citizens took over the mill with the consent of the Bishop of Würzburg. However, the monastery was not satisfied with this, and arbitration was initiated.

Streu River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Streu is a nearly 42-kilometer-long, orographically right-bank and northern tributary of the Franconian Saale in Thuringia and Bavaria. The name Streu was written "Streuue" in the 8th century and "Strouua" around 1030.[4] It is derived via Common Germanic from the Indo-European root *sreu- "to flow" and has an equivalent, among other things – also with the initial t-insertion typical of Germanic and Balto-Slavic – in the Lithuanian word strovė, which means "strong current".[5] The river gave its names to the communities of Oberstreu and Heustreu as well as to the town of Mittelstreu and the forest area of Streuwald.[4] A further linguistic connection to the Streufelsberg as the source of the Streu is obvious, but has not yet been investigated in detail. On a map from 1628, the entire course of the river as far as Gemünden bears the name "Straÿ Flu".

Saale Bridge, Hollstadt

Highlight • Bridge

This three-span, round-arched bridge from the 18th century was the former Saale Bridge to Hollstadt. On the bridge is a late Baroque sandstone statue depicting Saint Nepomuk. This is fitting for the location, as Nepomuk is considered the bridge saint and patron of the seal of confession.
