A nice, wide path, but it's directly in the sun. Too much sun for my taste. I don't walk there on hot days.

A bus stop... unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the former monastery.

Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.
