フィリップシュタールのおすすめツーリングルート

Just like the spoil heap, the surface mining facilities are also worth seeing. The headframe is visible from afar.

The two potash mines in Philippsthal and Heringen are particularly impressive because of their spoil heaps. But the above-ground facilities are also well worth seeing.

Beautiful historic town center, worth a detour.

It's worth a stop! Information boards on both sides of the bridge tell the rich history of both towns. A detour to the historic town center is definitely worthwhile. I especially recommend a visit to the small castle and a climb to the tower (€1). From there, you'll enjoy a fantastic view of the surrounding area and the bridge.

The Werra Bridge Vacha, also known as the Bridge of Unity since 1990, is a 225-meter-long stone arch bridge from the Middle Ages that connects Vacha in Thuringia with Philippsthal in Hesse, spanning the Werra River. During the division of Germany, the bridge lay directly on the inner-German border, making it a symbol of German reunification after 1990.

https://www.grenzerinnerungen.de/index.php Lots of information about the medieval stone arch bridge over the Werra River (now the "Bridge of Unity") and the white house opposite, the House on the Border. The Hoßfeld House, with its residential building and printing shop, was built in 1890 directly on the Thuringian border.

interesting building

The Krayenburg is geographically located in the Vorderrhön region, but not in the Thuringian Forest.
