Roth–Harrlach Road Cycling Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice, quiet side route from the Schleifweiher to Harrlach. Road is allowed for motor vehicles but there is a speed limit of 50 km / h. Very little traffic - except for cyclists, joggers, skaters, etc. Most of the route runs in the forest and is therefore also very suitable in summer. Except for the beginning (ascent from Schleifweiher to B2), the route is practically flat. You also pass a couple of idyllic ponds and drive under the Main-Danube Canal. In June / July 2021, poorer sections of the road were re-paved. The triathletes from SC Roth often use the route for interval training - so don't be surprised if you are suddenly run over by a cyclist express train at 40 km / h or more. Just hang on and enjoy.

Highlight • Monument

Atonement crosses are monuments of medieval law. They were part of the fulfillment of atonement contracts, which were concluded between two hostile parties to end a blood feud because of a murder or manslaughter that had been committed. The majority of the atonement crosses are designed in the shape of a cross, often the murder weapon or a typical professional device of the dead person is carved into the stone. In the rarest of cases, there are stamped-in years. Text is not found on any real expiatory cross from the 13th-16th centuries. Century. The simple farmer would not have been able to read it anyway, which is why pictorial representations dominated. With the introduction of Emperor Charles V's system of court-martial law in 1533, private agreements were no longer tolerated; they were replaced by the regular court, which convicted the offender according to the new law. With the introduction of this new law, the atonement contracts were officially abolished, but depending on local custom, they continued to exist throughout the 16th century; only the 17th century did away with them once and for all
