The bridge connects the upper and lower parts of Rotenburg and the old town. Wonderful view of the Fulda, the power station and the old half-timbered houses.

Built in 1612 under Landgrave Moritz I and burned down in October 1923, the former Herrenmühle (a mill for men) is now a hydroelectric power plant and is family-owned. The lock and weir also date back to the time when the Fulda River was developed into a shipping route between Kassel and Bad Hersfeld under Moritz I. Unfortunately, the lock is no longer operational, unlike the ones further downstream.

The old town of Rotenburg has a lot of half-timbered houses and is well preserved. The bridge was suddenly in front of me - somehow it was exciting to see what was waiting on the other side. If you have time, you can explore it.

The bridge separates the old and new towns of Rotenburg an der Fulda. It is also worth going to the new town for a short time and from there to have a view of the half-timbered houses of the old town.
