Schönex's old sandstone bridge. Unfortunately, the view of it is obstructed by the new bridge located directly next to it.

Next to the old bridge for traffic, a pedestrian bridge was built, from which you can easily inspect the stone bridge

The Baunach River flows into the Main shortly after Baunach, as does the Ilz River. This beautiful little town, with its many well-preserved historic buildings, has a lovely atmosphere.

In my opinion, the glass casing obstructs the view of the statue and is rather irritating. The sandstone is probably just too porous, and they don't want to have to renovate it again in a few years. I think a roof without side walls, in the pavilion style, would be more advantageous.

The bridge to the sports field offers a good view over the Main River.

The road toward Baunach is currently closed. The detour is to the left after the gate and then to the right in front of the sports field.
