The Bad Kissingen stagecoach is the only mail coach still in existence in Germany. It set off its maiden journey on 7 June 1939, but the service was stopped just a few months later when the Second World War broke out. Since the summer of 1950, the yellow coach drawn by four horses has regularly travelled from Bad Kissingen through the Saale valley to Aschach Castle and Bad Bocklet. If you've ever been on one, you'll know it's not to be missed!Aschach Castle
Aschach Castle has a history of being pawned, mortgaged and impounded. It has therefore had many different owners. On 2 August 1874, the local villagers celebrated when the family of Dr. Friedrich Graf von Luxburg, the royal Bavarian chief administrator of Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg, moved in. Chancellor Otto von Bismarck visited the castle almost every year between 1876 and 1893. Countess Luise von Luxburg was also a close friend of the imperial family. The Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, who later went on to become Kaiser Friedrich III, stayed in Aschach several times, as did Empress Auguste Victoria, the wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II.Freizeit-Land Geiselwind
