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

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.

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.
