When I was on the Werra cycle path, I was able to fully enjoy the attractive and varied landscape. The path took me through idyllic half-timbered towns such as Treffurt, Heldra, Wanfried and Eschwege, whose historic architecture offered a real visual pleasure. The section through Bad Sooden-Allendorf was particularly impressive, a place that impressed with its charming atmosphere and picturesque scenery. The route itself was well developed and easy to navigate, making it a perfect destination for cyclists of all experience levels. The quiet paths along the Werra River, mostly paved, offered a relaxed driving experience. There were numerous rest options along the route, from cozy benches and huts to interesting stopovers such as the organic farm at Stiftsgut Wilhelmsglücksbrunn. Another highlight of the tour was the section from Hörschel, which led along the route of the old Werra Valley Railway. This route offered fascinating insights into the natural beauty of the region and was a real highlight on my bike tour. What made the Werra cycle path so special was not just the scenic beauty, but also the mix of culture, history and nature. Every kilometer of the route revealed new wonders and made the journey an unforgettable experience.

Those who hike the Wartburg will be greeted peacefully by these historic artillery pieces.

The fire station has a long tradition. Already at the beginning of the 19th century there were noise cannons on the ramparts, which were ignited in case of a fire in the town and its surroundings or could call for help with a fire in the castle with the shots themselves.

When Eisenach was struck by a previously unknown catastrophe, it also had fatal consequences on the Wartburg: During the Napoleonic Wars, transports loaded with powder and ammunition often passed through the city on their way to France. This was also the case on September 1, 1810, when one of the wagons exploded in what is now Georgenstraße. The Black Fountain at the intersection of Georgenstraße, Alexanderstraße and Wydenbrugk-Straße marks the site of the devastating event. More than 68 people died in the rubble of 24 collapsed or burned-down houses or were hit by flying bullets and stones; many residents were injured. The force of the explosion even shattered windows in surrounding villages, and a window was also broken on the Wartburg. It is reported that from the start of the conflagration, the gunner on the Wartburg fired alarm shots continuously from the four cannons available. At the 32nd shot, fire watchman Hill relieved him and at that very moment one of the cannons broke apart. The fire watchman was so badly injured in the abdomen that he died shortly afterwards. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the residents of Eisenach and neighboring towns and "the number of fire engines that rushed to the scene in response to the continued emergency shots from the Wartburg, it was possible to put limits on the flames," concluded a contemporary report. https://www.wartburg.de/de/die-wartburg/objekt-des-monats/objekt/die-kanonen-auf-der-schanze-der-wartburg.html
