Breitengüßbach lies on Bundesstraße 4, running from Hamburg to Nuremberg, Bundesstraße 173 (Frankenschnellweg A 73), Staatsstraße 2197 and Bundesstraße 279.
A link to Thuringian Lindenau, also only six kilometres from Dietersdorf, where the narrow gauge railway from Hildburghausen ended, also failed to materialise.
