Gemünda Village and Half-Timbered Houses

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful little village with half-timbered houses not far from the Thuringian border. A ride through with the racing bike is definitely worthwhile. The parish hall with the smithy (unfortunately not photographed) and the church are particularly worth seeing.

Overall, the section Merlach - Autenhausen - Gemünda can be driven.

Market Fountain, Ummerstadt

Highlight • Monument

Parts of the Luther film were also shot on the market square in Ummerstadt. The sloping marketplace and the well-preserved half-timbered houses provided the necessary environment for this. Numerous scenery constructions/changes to buildings and the fountain were made for this purpose, so that everything looks medieval. I have attached a picture of it. The fountain is completely boarded up and serves as a pedestal for the indulgence dealer. He speaks to the fictional community of Jüterborg.
If you know that, a real highlight.

Here is an interesting link about it:

Ummerstadt Historic Town Center

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

this is a very nice section on the former inner-German border. It is mostly very quiet and there are very few cars. This section is highly recommended, especially in the evening.

Former Inner German Border Marker

Highlight • Historical Site

Coming from Gemünda or Ummerstadt you drive past it directly in the curve at the Gehegsmühle. From there you can follow the path uphill into the forest and continue to Neundorf. You save yourself the way via Dittersdorf.

Tambach Castle

Highlight • Castle

However, with secularization, the Langheim monastery office and the Tambach Castle monastery office were dissolved. Tambach Castle fell to the Bavarian royal house in 1803 and to the House of Ortenburg in 1806 in exchange for the County of Ortenburg in Lower Bavaria. Tambach Castle only acquired its current appearance at the beginning of the 20th century. The original fountains by the Bamberg sculptor Michael Trautmann (1742-1809) were removed when the Protestant Counts of Ortenburg moved in and distributed to the communities of Neuendorf and Hergramsdorf. The current fountain in the castle courtyard was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

The private castle church in the castle is open to the public and can be accessed from the castle courtyard. The church can be booked for weddings and baptisms.
