June 28, 2026, Weir on the Fulda River in Melsungen

A large weir on the Fulda river. From the Bartenwetzerbrücke bridge, you have a nice view of it.

Here you also have nice shady sections in the summer and whether uphill or downhill it is easy to ride.

A masterpiece of the shoes, the basket, and the facial expression, a successful work in my opinion.

The Fulda weir and the adjacent lock - which is still operational today - date back to the time when the Fulda was made navigable between Kassel and Bad Hersfeld - under Landgrave Moritz I.

If you walk clockwise, the best comes last (the gorge) and this is the exit 😉

In the lower village of Holzhausen, one of many bridges crosses the Efze River. Directly adjacent to the stone arched bridge is an old mill. The aging iron mill wheel in the mill race is no longer functional.

The present church, constructed of basalt stones and sandstone cornerstones, was built between 1890 and 1892. It stands on the site of a much smaller predecessor, from which a special relic is said to have survived: the Boniface Stone dating from 750. In front of the church is the beautifully landscaped square under the linden tree with the old village fountain and various seating areas.
