ヴァンフリートの峡谷・トップ12

The "Pferdeloch" (Horse Hole) is a narrow and deep gorge formed by a landslide. During the Thirty Years' War, the local population hid their livestock here from plundering soldiers. The viewpoint above the Pferdeloch, at an altitude of approximately 470 meters, offers a view of Hitzelrode and the Hohestein mountain.

😎 In 2023 I rode along here with my brother on my first longer EBIKE TOUR from ESW to ESA. Then again the next day on the way back. What a fantastic picture. What a symphonic frog concert from the other bank of the Werra. What a wonderful cycle path between Hesse and Thuringia. The next time will be in 2024 on an e-bike tour with my partner from Eschwege-Niederhone through the beautiful Ringgau to Creuzburg and back to Eschwege. We enjoyed it. And I'm already looking forward to the next time. Sometime this year. 👋

The Große Steingraben in the Mühlhausen city forest is a plateau area formed by the rock layers of the Muschelkalk, which is constantly changing.

You cycle along the cliffs. The rocks, the trees and the blue sky offer a wonderful view.

One of the most beautiful low mountain landscapes in Germany. The region along the Werra in Thuringia and northern Hesse, wonderful to visit by bike on the Werra Valley Cycle Path

Along the Werra you can see these beautiful rock faces. 👍

When I reached the cliffs I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There they stood, towering, mighty and impressive, and it was as if the cycle path had forced its way right through these ancient rocks. On one side of the path the Werra, flowing calmly and serenely, and on the other side these huge cliffs that seemed almost alive in the morning sun. It was an amazing sight and a bit like cycling through a huge open-air museum. The sun played with the light and shadow on the rocks and I couldn't help but keep stopping to enjoy the view. The cliffs seemed to tell stories from long ago and I felt like a small part of that long history. The cycle path itself was a joy to ride. It was well maintained and took me through a landscape that seemed somehow magical. At times I was in the shadow of the cliffs, at times in the sunshine on the banks of the Werra. There was always something new to see and I enjoyed every minute of this ride.

On the premium hiking trail, this trail runs directly along a very narrow path that is sometimes staggered with steps. Here you should already have a certain driving technique and in some exposed places you even have to push. Caution and consideration should be given to hikers as you share the path with them.
