베라-마이스너-크라이스 주변 최고의 도시 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

The Nikolaiturm is a former watchtower of the city fortifications. It serves as an observation tower and is therefore open to visitors.

I'm getting kicked by the Goethe elephant. 👎 You can see it as a skeleton in the Ottoneum in Kassel. This is Jacob Grimm. 😒 (Thank goodness Komoot has changed it back. But again, this is not Johann Wolfgang)

The Haase Garden Café is somewhat hidden away. The entrance is located inside the Haase store, which is actually a household goods store. In the back is the indoor café and the beautiful garden with seating. You can also purchase all sorts of antiques and garden items.

The market square, the central square of the old town of Witzenhausen, is dominated by the beautiful historic town hall.

There is a monument to Jacob Grimm on the market square.

The mighty Town Church of Our Lady has been the Protestant church of the town of Witzenhausen since the Reformation. It consists primarily of Romanesque and Gothic elements dating back to the 13th century. Among the impressive features inside is the imposing tomb of the Baronial von Bodenhausen family. I found the church open through the beautiful south portal.

The historic Werra Bridge connects not only the riverbanks but also the city life with the nature surrounding the Werra Valley lake area. From here, you have a magnificent view of the Werra, Eschwege's old town—and, during the Open Flair Festival, often the hustle and bustle of the Werdchen River.

The Bridge of Tears is far more than just a pedestrian bridge over the Werra River – it's a place full of history, emotion, and symbolic significance. The name recalls the time of the inner-German border, when families would say goodbye here – often with tears in their eyes. Today, it's a quiet, powerful place, perfect for a short break, a moment of contemplation, or a photo overlooking the water. Especially during the Open Flair Festival, the bridge is a popular spot for taking a breather – or getting into the festival spirit at sunset. 🌅 Tip: The view from the bridge is especially beautiful in the evening light. And with a bit of luck, you might even hear faint music drifting over from the Werdchen.
