Here you cross the Werra.

Nice back road.

A beautiful route for cycling and walking. The natural scenery offers some very beautiful sights.

Beautiful tower, visible from afar. A good landmark.

Very well preserved and worth a visit.

The historic Werra Bridge is one of the oldest surviving stone bridges in northern Germany. There was a natural rock barrier beneath the current Werra Bridge in Hann. Münden. This so-called "Werra Hollow" forced sailors in the Middle Ages to unload their cargo first so that they could then pass the obstacle with less draft. A wooden predecessor was followed in the 1220s by the new stone building that has survived to this day. The six bridge arches are supported by five pillars, which are fitted with acute-angled ice breakers on the southeast side. The 105-meter-long bridge not only connected the old town with the historic suburb of Blume. It was also an important bottleneck on the long-distance trade route from Frankfurt am Main, which led from the Hessian depression via Kassel and the Leine Valley to Braunschweig and further into northern Germany. The bridge was roofed over around 1400. From this time, a bridge toll is documented for the first time, which was collected until the middle of the 19th century and brought the city important income. The drawbridge, the small defensive towers, iron portcullis and the customs house that can be seen in historical views, are evidence of Münden's important function as a trade and transport hub. As part of the expansion of the highway from Hanover to Kassel, the roofs were removed in 1777/79 so that larger vehicles could also cross the bridge. The structure was repeatedly damaged by floods, ice and other environmental influences and was last completely renovated in 1986.

The castle contains two Renaissance rooms with extensive wall paintings, a unique example of their completeness found nowhere else in Germany. These can be viewed as part of a guided tour offered by the Tourist Information Office. The Municipal Museum in the Welfen Castle displays exhibits on the town's history, long-distance trade, the sculptor Gustav Eberlein, who spent many years of his life in the town, products from the Münden faience manufactory, and Renaissance-era Werra ceramics. The castle also houses the town archives, the town library, the district court, a daycare center, and two event spaces, some of which are also partially decorated with murals.

One tower, three names! The Ferry Gate, after which the tower is named, was first documented in 1383. It was once part of the medieval city fortifications. In 1848, the owner of the company Haendler & Natermann bought the tower to produce lead shot. During this process, the tower was extended from its original height of 26 meters to 40 meters. In the tower-casting process, lead was melted and poured through a sieve. The lead droplets fell into the well like hailstones, which is why the tower is still called the Hail Tower or, after its owner, the Natermann Tower. Hail shot was produced here until the 1980s.
