The Alsfeld–Niederaula–Bad Hersfeld railway line, known as the Gründchenbahn, crossed the Eifa valley on the Eifa railway viaduct, west of what is now the Alsfeld district of Bad Hersfeld. The section of this line between Grebenau and Alsfeld was opened on April 1, 1916. Constructed in reinforced concrete starting in 1913, the viaduct spans the valley with eight arches over a length of 230 meters. The bridge is 22 meters high. Despite its concrete construction, the viaduct features striking decorative elements in its pilasters, parapet, and oriels above the piers. Passenger service on the 31.3-kilometer (11.3-mile) section between Niederaula and Alsfeld was discontinued on May 25, 1974. Freight service on the Alsfeld–Eifa section (including the railway viaduct) continued until May 28, 1988. The prominent railway viaduct has been out of service since the Eifa-Alsfeld section of the line was closed. However, it is a listed building for technical and historical reasons.

The Gründchenbahn railway line, which began in Alsfeld, ended in Niederaula. Therefore, coming from Bad Hersfeld, there is a sudden jump in kilometer markers from 11.4 to 34.4, and then the line descends. This descending kilometer marker system is somewhat unusual, as the Niederjossa–Niederaula section was opened first in conjunction with the railway line from Schlitz, followed by the Niederjossa–Grebenau section, and only then the extension to Eifa and Alsfeld. The station building housed a restaurant, but it (like Asbach) has since burned down.

The square is named after the fountain of the same name and has been exclusively accessible to pedestrians since the 1970s, thus creating a quiet zone within the old town. One of the most striking features is the legend: According to this legend, the stork myth plays a role here—the stork retrieved "newborn children" from the fountain or brought them to their parents.

Shortly after the Blue Stone Falls you will find this inviting, comfortable rest stop at the edge of the forest.

The Leonhardsturm in Alsfeld was built in 1386 as a defensive tower of the city fortifications.

There were currently no storks on the tower
