impressive in all respects and always worth a visit:

- the top of the Bleßberg is the highest point in Thuringia at 1062m
- scenic top, always great views, attractive sections of route all around, longer climbs, fast descents, other highlights very close by (Triniushütte, Itzquelle, etc.)
- the shape should be right...

The path to Bleßberg is completely paved, just turn off at the source of the Werra. Change is important on site, otherwise you won't be able to get to the tower.

The Bleßberg is probably "only" 867 meters high.

There are a few higher mountains here in Thuringia, but few that are so perfectly paved and not too steep, making them very easy to ride on a road bike. From the source of the Werra, the route goes downhill for a bit and then back up again. You can safely let your bike run on the descent.

You can climb the observation tower for €1. There's a turnstile with a coin slot. Great views in good weather, all the way to the Fichtel Mountains and the Rhön Mountains.
