You retrace your footsteps - take a slightly different path..... and there is an ancient well that had a new facade added to it in the 16th century to commemorate St Elisabeth who looked after the poor and sick in Marburg. She was a Hungarian princess who married into the early nobility of Marburg and had a chapel built here that was demolished in 1527.

In Search of St Elisabeth
Cycling (or walking) through the forest here is so different - it is such a maze of pathways. You cycle down this pathway with almost no idea where you are heading - nothing to tell you where you are going...... and suddenly you exit the forest and there are 2 villages spread across the country side in front of you.
