If you want to visit the Werraquelle, you strangely have two options. There are two Werraquelle in the Thuringian Forest: the rear spring near Siegmundsburg and the front spring here near Fehrenbach. You can fill up your water bottles at both. But only here at the front spring near Fehrenbach is there an additional hut that invites you to linger. The Werraquell hut was reopened at Pentecost 2019. Here you can try delicious Thuringian delicacies and recharge your batteries for your onward journey.

You can find the hut's opening times here: werraquell-huette.de

In 1897 the Werra spring was set in stone and designed as a fountain. Since the spring's ceremonial opening, the river has been gushing out of a snapdragon and making its long journey to the North Sea.

You simply have to visit the Werraquelle once. Super seating with good food, drinks are of course also available. Centrally located and easily accessible, there is a lot to see there. It's really worth it.
