A beautiful bridge along the Werra

The Bridge of Tears is far more than just a pedestrian bridge over the Werra River – it's a place full of history, emotion, and symbolic significance. The name recalls the time of the inner-German border, when families would say goodbye here – often with tears in their eyes.

Today, it's a quiet, powerful place, perfect for a short break, a moment of contemplation, or a photo overlooking the water. Especially during the Open Flair Festival, the bridge is a popular spot for taking a breather – or getting into the festival spirit at sunset.

🌅 Tip: The view from the bridge is especially beautiful in the evening light. And with a bit of luck, you might even hear faint music drifting over from the Werdchen.
