Artist Frantisek Vlcek erected his sculpture in this section of the Itz River. It is part of the project "River Faces: From Stone to Sculpture" on the Auenweg Obermain (https://www.flussparadies-franken.de/projekte/auenweg-obermain/flussgesichter/). The sculpture depicts a section of a mermaid bathed in flowing water, which, in reference to ancient imagery, can be interpreted as the female form of the Itz River. In her natural nakedness, she resembles a spring nymph, seemingly emerging from the flowing water.

Theme: Encounter on the pilgrimage Brief description: Originally grounded and reduced to the essentials; signs that every pilgrim can read. Theological background: The pilgrimage offers many opportunities for encounters: There is the wonderful landscape between Itzgrund and the Garden of God on the Upper Main. There are the villages with their old churches, their half-timbered houses and their original farms. There are the forests and fields in all their colorfulness. There are the people who greet the pilgrims in a friendly manner across denominational boundaries. There are the crosses and wayside shrines, the small chapels along the way, testimonies to the faith of our ancestors. In these encounters on the pilgrimage, something new emerges - faith, hope, love.
