The Roßdorf Rock Cellar (often also called Sauer's Cellar) is a classic Franconian beer cellar on the outskirts of Roßdorf am Forst (municipality of Strullendorf). It belongs to the Sauer Brewery, which is located in the village center. The cellar is idyllically situated on the edge of the forest above the village. It offers a sweeping view across the Regnitz Valley to the Steigerwald forest and is known for its shady spots under old trees. At the entrance stands a striking, listed cellar building dating from 1914. Originally, the tunnels hewn deep into the rock served to cool the beer before it was served on-site in the summer. Sauer Brewery beer is served, especially their typical naturally cloudy cellar beer. Traditional Franconian snacks (e.g., cellar platters) and hot meals are also available. The cellar is a key stop on the Strullendorf Beer Cellar Trail, a popular cycling and hiking route.

On the connecting road between Amlingstadt and Roßdorf am Forst (near Wernsdorf) are two striking religious monuments, often linked to local history and old field paths. The wayside shrine, often referred to as a "Martersäule" (martyr's column) in Franconia, is a typical example of Baroque folk piety in Franconia. The column is made of sandstone and has a smooth base (approximately 140 cm high) that terminates in a cap with niches for images. The lantern (the upper part) often features four empty, round-arched niches and is topped with a cross-shaped roof, sometimes adorned with shell ornaments (scallop shells) – a reference to its location on old pilgrimage routes. Directly opposite the wayside shrine stands a wooden cross with a corpus. Such wayside crosses formerly served as landmarks, places for prayer during fieldwork, or as memorials for those who had died in accidents.

Old run-of-river power station (1920). Previously, the water supply came from the Regnitz via the old factory canal. Today, the RMD canal has taken over this task.
