The structure shown in the picture is an unfinished bridge pier of the so-called Route 46, a planned motorway built during the Nazi era but never completed. Route 46 was intended to connect Bad Hersfeld with Würzburg. Background: Construction of Route 46 began in the 1930s. However, the project was halted with the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and never resumed.

A very inviting farm, delicious food, and reasonable prices. The landlady, Franziska, and her mother are very nice and friendly. I can wholeheartedly recommend the snack bar and would visit again and again.
