Werra Cycle Path near Birkenfeld

Highlight • Monument

A wonderful path towards Eisfeld. After Veilsdorf, in the direction of Harras, the path leads tunnel-like along the edge of the forest. Pure riding experience.

Old Vachdorf Station

Highlight • Restaurant

The "old" station building in Vachdorf has now been turned into a beautiful inn with a beer garden, located directly on the Werratal cycle path, ideal for "refueling"

Historic Entrance to Henfstädt

Highlight • Historical Site

An old narrow bridge leads over the Werra to or from Henfstädt. Still nicely planted in the warm months, which looks particularly good.

August 30, 2022,Werratalradweg von Eisfeld bis Einhausen

For the journey I used the 9€ ticket for the last time (as did many others besides me). I always enjoy cycling this section of the Werratal cycle path. The paths are very varied, sometimes through wooded areas, sometimes next to fields and meadows. It is most beautiful directly along the river. The Werra is hardly recognizable as it carries …

A fantastic tour in gorgeous T-shirt weather. Beautiful bike paths, lovingly maintained rest areas, avenues lined with apple trees, old walls, and so on.

But I wanted to start the tour from the source of the Werra and it was worth it. I already had the descent from the Eisfelder Ausspanne (former horse changing station) to Sachsenbrunn through the Thuringian Forest …

Today we drove the missing stage of the Werratalradweg. We drove to Meiningen. Then on the train to Eisfeld. From here we drove the Werratalradweg to the source. There is probably a second source, but we left it out. We didn't want to take the gravel forest path back to Eisfeld and took the paved path to Fehrenbach. That went …

In the evening, we can enjoy a …
