The kilometer markings on the two historic stones are barely visible, but still legible. A bench invites you to rest. The view extends all the way to the Gleichberg Mountains.

The church, town hall, and school (formerly the administrative building of the Behrungen winery) add special touches. The entire town center and the village grounds, within a navigable circular path, are protected as historical monuments. In 1993, Behrungen won the Thuringian state competition "Our Village Should Become More Beautiful" and took second place in the national competition in 1995.
