The Rhönexpress Bahn-Radweg cycle path was completed in 2019 and is a special experience. The approx. 26 km long route runs from the Hessian border near Zeitlofs to the market town of Wildflecken on the former route of a railway line. Source and further information: https://rhoenexpress.bayern/

The Protestant Peace Church is located on the edge of the city center and invites visitors to pause and reflect. I found it open.

The oldest known documented mention of Altengronau appears in a Latin document, according to which a certain Hainradus bequeathed the village of Gruona above the Gaza River (today: Jossa) to the monastery of Echternach for the salvation of his soul. The document bears the tenth year of Charlemagne's reign as its only dating feature. According to the Luxembourg historian Henri-Camille Wampach's observations on the dating of Echternach documents, Hainradus' donation was dated to the year 780. This date is now generally accepted as the first documented mention of Altengronau. In contrast, more recent research suggests that Charlemagne's reign as king began as early as 768. After Charlemagne's father, Pippin, died on September 24, 768, an assembly on October 9 elected his sons, Charles and Carloman, joint kings of the Frankish Empire; Carloman ruled the southeastern part of the empire, while Charles ruled the other part. Following this interpretation, Hainradus's deed of gift, and thus the first documented mention of Altengronau, can be dated to 777 or 778. Source: Wikipedia

The forest path between the barracks and Jossa is one of the most beautiful sections of the entire cycle tour.
