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

The viaduct of the disused Berlin-Koblenz Railway (Kanonenbahn) spans the Efze Valley near Relbehausen. Five pillars support the track at a height of up to 31 meters. The railway was built in the 1870s and originally connected Berlin and Metz in Alsace-Lorraine. Freight traffic continued until 2002.

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.

Shortly after Morschen, you pass under the Fuldatal Bridge on the German Railway's high-speed line between Hanover and Würzburg, which can be seen from quite a distance – ideally on the R1 long-distance cycle route. It's best to stop for a moment, grab your camera, and snap a few nice pictures 😊
