Fat Oak When you reach the middle path crossing, you will find yourself in front of a landmark of Kindel: the "Fat Oak" is an impressive tree whose varied history is clearly visible. In the middle of the Kindel military training area, it was one of the few trees that were left in the area during the clear-cutting in the 1960s and 1980s. The reason was probably better orientation. It is also suspected that these trees were used as targets, as some of them show considerable damage.

😎 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 Germanic Cult Trail is easily accessible from the Zollgarten or Kammerforst hiking car parks. The trail is 3.5 km long with eight stations, is easy to hike and is marked with the Irminsul Column, a mystical tree.

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

what a beautiful landscape

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

At first we couldn't do much with the wooden statues. But if you know that exactly such figures were found in the moor nearby, the route makes much more sense. The path itself is super beautiful in the forest

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.
