I would prefer the old railway line to such a stupid cycle path, which should actually run alongside the track and not on the track.

In summer, when thermals are favorable, there is a lot of flying activity here. Once a year, you can watch the glider pilots for a week during their aerobatic championships.

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.
