    The Werach bridge Vacha is a 225 m long stone arch bridge from the Middle Ages, which connects the Thuringian Vacha with the Hessian Philippsthal. Today, the building is used as a pedestrian and cycle bridge. The ecumenical pilgrimage route Görlitz-Vacha leads over the Werra bridge. Here the Way of St. James through the Rhön in the direction of Fulda connects. Next to the bridge overlooking the city, stands a sculpture that was inspired by the pedestrian traffic light figures. The art project is called "Unity Man" and was set up on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of German Unity.

      The beautiful medieval bridge with 13 arches spans the Werra directly on the border between Hesse and Thuringia.
