Green Belt Information Board, Naturpark Haßberge

Highlight • Monument

The panel provides information about the Green Belt (the former border), its structure and the nature that developed in the former protective strip. Interesting and worth reading.

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).

What a beautiful place, there on the way to the St. Ursula Chapel. Framed by two beautiful old linden trees there is a sandstone pedestal with Jesus carrying the cross.
The linden trees are very old and are located on a small hill. All in all, the result is a great overall picture, a dreamlike piece of nature in every season.

This beautiful, colorfully painted wayside shrine with a cross stands a little below the St. Ursula Chapel, very magnificently designed.

St. Ursula Natural Cemetery

Highlight • Religious Site

The desire to find his final resting place in nature, especially in a forest, is increasing. There are very different reasons for this. That nature takes care of the grave is just one of many possible reasons. The peaceful environment of the forest can also comfort the bereaved.

Ursula Singletrail

Highlight • Trail

This path leads from Sternberg directly to the natural cemetery at the Sankt Ursula chapel. Also easy to ride with the bike, but with a lot of fun only in the dry season. The path is part of the E6/ E3 hiking trail.
