Werra Spring Fehrenbach

Highlight • River

If you want to visit the Werraquelle, you strangely have two options. There are two Werraquelle in the Thuringian Forest: the rear spring near Siegmundsburg and the front spring here near Fehrenbach. You can fill up your water bottles at both. But only here at the front spring near Fehrenbach is there an additional hut that invites you to linger. The Werraquell hut was reopened at Pentecost 2019. Here you can try delicious Thuringian delicacies and recharge your batteries for your onward journey.

You can find the hut's opening times here: werraquell-huette.de

Werra Spring Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The new Gasthaus an der Werraquelle offers more guest comfort than the old version. A nice resting point in the hiking area around the donkey mountain between Masserberg and Fehrenbach. Whether the area has lost to hiking charm through the new building, everyone may decide for themselves.

Pond at the Werra Spring

Highlight • Lake

The surroundings of the Werraquellhütte have been designed in a varied and interesting way and are definitely worth a visit. The pond under the great lookout tower was also used as a compensatory measure for the then
Construction work, so created as part of the renaturation.

Eisfelder Resting Place

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here you can relax. That's why the place is not called that way. The name goes back to the coachmen who once maneuvered their heavy wagons over the Rennsteig. Here, the poor horses were stretched out briefly, so they could rest a bit. For the perfect break refreshment, the Werra spring can provide a bit further, bubbling fresh from a snapdragon, before splashing on the way to the Weser. If you fancy a night in the nature boy style: The small hut offers sufficient protection.

Scheibe-Alsbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Away from the hustle and bustle of tourists, the dam is a gem for hikers. It doesn't matter whether you comfortably walk around it in an hour, go up to the Schwarza spring or go deeper into the woods. There are wonderful council seats at the lake. Bathing is prohibited.
