Next to the road bridge over the Werra is the ruin of the railway bridge.
From 1962 to 1992, the railway ran here from Gerstungen to Förtha/Eisenach to bypass Herleshausen in Hesse.

There is still an old railway bridge here, although the track itself has been removed. If you want to cross the bridge: On the left bank of the Wer, it is best to use the safety stairs directly at the bridge. The path that leads up from the sewage treatment plant is half overgrown. On the right bank of the Wer, I also recommend the safety stairs, as otherwise you have to climb over a guard rail.
