Hiking
Until 1920, the water of the Wipfra flowed over five national borders over a distance of only 40 kilometers. The upper section up to the town of Wipfra belonged to the Ilmenau district of the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Neuroda belonged to Saxe-Gotha, and Neuroda was followed by the area of the Arnstadt district, which belonged to the principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The place Elxleben belonged to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Kirchheim to Prussia and Eischleben to Saxe-Gotha. However, the Wipfra was not a border river throughout its course.
