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

The ruins of the moated castle can be visited for 2 euros.

An absolute hiking highlight that needs to be explored here

The castle on the Tannenberg was built by the von Baumbach family in the 14th century in a strategically important location - first between Franconia and Saxony, then between Hesse and Thuringia - with the support of the Landgrave of Hesse in place of an older castle complex. The castle benefited from its location on the various trade routes, especially the Via Regia. A large part of the old core castle and the old farm yard are still preserved today. After excavations, the western kennel wall and the gate tower were reconstructed in 2006/7. The castle is now owned by the “Freunde des Tannenbergs e.V.” association. The former medieval group "Allerley" looks after the Tannenburg gastronomically, through demonstrations of old crafts and through a variety of events in the style of a living medieval museum.

The moated castle of Friedewald was built in the 13th century at this strategic point, because medieval military and long-distance trade routes met here. After it was destroyed in the Seven Years' War, it lost its importance. It was only partially used. Today you can visit them and climb the thick tower. You can find more information and the opening hours here: https://www.museum-friedewald.de/museum/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise.html.

The moated castle borders the old village center in Friedewald to the south. During excavations in the castle courtyard in 1983, a shard was found in a layer of fire that was assigned to the 11th or 12th century. The first stone building, the foundations of which were found in what is now the castle courtyard, was also discovered. It is dated to the 13th or 14th century. Over the centuries the owner had changed several times. During the Thirty Years' War the castle was conquered by various occupiers. During the Seven Years' War in 1762, General Stainville (French Army) destroyed the moated castle. It was never rebuilt and the outer bailey served as an official residence and courthouse. Until recently, the forestry office was also here. Source - and for further information: www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserburg_Friedewald_(Hessen)

Interesting to drive over the boardwalk - could be tight with oncoming traffic.

Great idea with the boardwalk on a very nice bike path anyway.
