ベルカ/ヴェラのおすすめMTBライド

A beautiful cycle path between the Werra river and the Obersuhl meadows, with plenty of trees.

The Stork Fountain from 1936 stands in Gerstungen on the market square and features a bronze stork.

Of the three city gates of Berka a.d. Werra, only the lower gate remains.

Gerstungen Castle was built in the 17th/18th century on the foundations of the moated castle located there.

The beautiful round church in Untersuhl is one of the most unusual Evangelical Lutheran parish churches in the Wartburg district of Thuringia due to its unique construction. It is located in the center of the village, which is a protected historical site.

The Vachaer Stein pass, along with the "Kalte Küche" pass, is one of the two most important pass crossings in the Thuringian Forest.

Berka had three city gates but no city wall. One of these is the well-preserved Lower Gate.

The choir tower church is dedicated to Saint Margaret. Her face smiles down from the keystone in the choir vault. The late Gothic choir is the oldest part of the church. The nave was extended in 1613 and 1676. Around 1700, the church received its richly decorated Baroque pulpit. The simple galleries date from the 19th century, as does the valuable organ by Peternell. The focus of attention is on the altarpiece from 1510. Reliefs expressively narrate the Passion of Christ. The main panel in the center depicts the Crucifixion. The left wing shows Christ on the Mount of Olives and carrying the cross. The right wing depicts the Lamentation and Resurrection. The altarpiece testifies to the pre-Reformation piety of the church. The figures engage the viewer with eye contact. The robes imitate the fashion of the time. Thus, the biblical story took on a connection with the present-day churchgoers who witnessed the Passion of Christ. Contemplating the suffering of Christ served the salvation of souls.
