For €2, you can buy a ball and enjoy the stations along the ball track. The path goes around and through Burgpreppach.

Until 1918, the town of Königsberg belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and was a Saxon exclave in the Kingdom of Bavaria. The regular connection to the royal seat of Coburg was provided by the official messengers. The "official messengers' path" commemorates them.
