Roman Catholic Parish Church of the Nativity of Mary - Before the establishment of the parish, Hambach was likely a branch of Maibach. Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn had the chancel tower of the church built around 1600 on Romanesque foundations. The nave, originally built with two window bays, was constructed in 1734 and extended by two more window bays in 1928. Two side wings were added between 1988 and 1990. The nave is oriented towards the eastern chancel in the lower level of the church tower. The church tower is built in the Echter style. The walls of the nave are pierced to create transitions to the northern and southern side wings. The church furnishings are Baroque, dating from the time the nave was built. The central figure of the high altar, which, like the side altars, has two columns, is a gilded Madonna and Child. The pulpit depicts the four Evangelists. Next to it, a crucifix from 1952.

Fridritt was a popular pilgrimage site, especially after the Thirty Years' War. At that time, the village already had a chapel, possibly dating back to the 14th century, which may have been located on the site of the present-day Fridritt Church's sacristy. As the number of pilgrims steadily increased, and the addition of a gallery to the chapel, which had fallen into disrepair by 1728, became insufficient, Kaspar Indau (1733–1768), the Wermerichshausen parish priest from Königshofen, initiated the construction of the present-day Church of St. Lawrence and the Assumption of Mary under the patronage of Friedrich Karl von Schönborn-Buchheim, Prince-Bishop of Würzburg. The church's construction was financed by the pilgrims' offerings, and later, Father Indau also bequeathed his fortune to the Church of St. Lawrence and the Assumption of Mary. The church was completed with the construction of the nave from June 23, 1734, to 1737 under the master builder Georg Tantzer from Ebern. The high altar, likely erected in 1737 by the Neustadt artist Benedict Lux, was financed by Bildhausen Abbey. The high altar bears the coat of arms of Engelbert Klöpfel, the abbot of the abbey. The altarpiece depicts the apparition of Mary with the Son of God to St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The side figures represent (from left to right) St. Aquilin, St. Kilian, St. Engelbert, and St. John Nepomuk. On the left side altar, standing against a gold background, is the pilgrimage statue of Mary with Child, created in the mid-14th century.[3] The statue of Mary is flanked by life-size columns of St. Joachim and St. Anne, Mary's parents, as well as her other relatives, St. Zechariah and St. Elizabeth. The right side altar features the four Evangelists on either side of the altarpiece depicting the miraculous catch of fish. The right side altar houses the four Evangelists on either side of the altarpiece depicting the miraculous catch of fish. The pulpit contains four niches with statues of the Church Fathers Gregory, Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome. The organ was built in 1738 by Johann Philipp Seuffert. The early Gothic church tower was heightened around 1775; a timber frame work by the Kissinger master carpenter Johann Streit has been preserved in connection with this work. The church has been renovated several times, including in 1867. Since 2002, the church has been one of the stops on the Franconian Marian Way.

The Ruppelmühle is particularly well-known; it is housed in a brick building dating from 1900 and generates 90 kW of electricity through two turbines, primarily for the attached milling operation, where approximately 20 tons of grain are milled daily. (Wikipedia)

The stone bridge shown in the picture is the flood bridge in Steinach, a district of Bad Bocklet in Lower Franconia, Bavaria. The bridge was rebuilt in 2017 as part of a flood protection project and is part of a cycle path.

A beautiful bike path without bumps or potholes. With a nice rest area and even bike racks.

A great bike path in beautiful scenery. No bumps, no potholes, etc. Riding away from traffic is really fun, and you can even pick up some speed. Simply fantastic!

The cycle path leads from Zell to Schweinfurt (about halfway) off the road between fields and along the edge of the forest.

next to the spa park on the main street.
