Unfortunately, 2 of the 4 coats of arms on the bridge are now missing. An information board provides information about the reconstruction of the bridge in 2008 by the local Fichtelgebirge Association.

In autumn 2007, the Ascher local group of the Fichtelgebirge Association came up with the idea of building a wooden pedestrian bridge over the Mühlbach on the still existing stone foundations of the old bridge. The idea excited people on both sides of the border. The "Europe Bridge" or "Bridge of Friendship" was opened in summer 2008. In the middle of the bridge, which lies exactly on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic, there is a stylized gate through which you can cross to your neighbor. The relief of a friendly and reconciling handshake was placed on both sides of the bridge gate. A gesture towards a future of togetherness and mutual respect.

An impressive creation by an unknown artist. The work is united with the tree, winding around the trunk. The snakes as headdresses are well made and also a little spooky.

You can park here for free. Not much space and no markings, but it is enough for a few vehicles.

There are two French graves near Faßmannsreuth. The "rear French grave" is near the border with the Czech Republic. When the Napoleonic army retreated after the Battle of Leipzig, the two unknown French soldiers were buried in the woods around Faßmannsreuth in 1813. The care of the graves over the centuries led to the town twinning between Rehau and Bourgoin-Jallieu. In the past, there were simple wooden crosses on both burial mounds. In 1936, the Rehau woodcarver Lorenz Muggenthaler made the wooden crosses, which were then removed in 1987 due to weather conditions and replaced with new ones.
