The Market Square in Seligenstadt forms the historic center of the town of Einhard and is known for its exceptionally well-preserved ensemble of colorful half-timbered houses and the classical town hall. It is considered one of the most beautiful places in the region and is a central meeting point for tourists and locals alike. Around the Market Square, there are plenty of terraces where you can enjoy a snack and a drink while enjoying the view of the beautiful square.

The Einhardhaus is one of the most iconic half-timbered houses in the historic city center of Seligenstadt, Germany. This richly decorated building, dating from 1596, is known for its ornate façade, wooden oriel windows, and the legend that explains the town's name. The current half-timbered house dates from 1596, as evidenced by the inscriptions on the façade. It is a prime example of late German Renaissance half-timbering, characterized by lavish ornamentation and a striking corner oriel window. Although the house was built centuries after his death, it is named after Einhard (c. 770–840), the biographer of Charlemagne and founder of the monastery in Seligenstadt. The oriel window bears an inscription referencing the legend of Einhard and Emma (Charlemagne's daughter). According to legend, Charles recognized his daughter here after a long separation, after which he exclaimed: "Selig sei die Stadt genannt, da ich meine Tochter Emma wiederfand" ("Blessed be the city called where I found my daughter Emma again"), which would explain the name Seligenstadt.

It's always lovely to cycle along the Kahl river.

A small underpass beneath the railway tracks, which, contrary to Siegfried's statement, is only suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. It's the smallest tunnel I've seen so far on my travels through Germany :-).
