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 …

This cycle path leads directly along the Werra on the Werra cycle path between Philippsthal and Harnrode. The cycle path is easy to ride and offers many beautiful views, e.g. of the Kaliberge.

Boardwalk with view of Monte Kali

Highlight • Cycleway

Attractive cycle path along the Werra. A special highlight is this piece between Dankmarshausen and Heringen over the wooden boardwalk with a view of Monte Kali and a stork's nest.

It's a shame when the local authorities aren't really on the ball. Today's example: we cycled about 5 km and the signposted cycle path ended in a construction site. That's not a problem at first if a detour is offered. Unfortunately, in our case there was no detour. So we went back and 5 km there and 5 km back …

Beautiful tour along the former inner-German border with 2 stops in Zh 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴🍺🍺🍺

Wonderful day: great weather, extremely beautiful route and time to stroll in peace and quiet in Eisenach. What more do you want!

Each stage on our Werra Valley tour presents itself with a special profile. On the 4th stage, the profile building blocks are "potash mining" and the former "German-German border".

We started in Salzungen from the guesthouse "Zum frölichen Drahtesel" with an excellent breakfast in the open air, which the landlady served us with a lot of passion.

Today's stage from Vacha to Eisenach is comparatively short and leads largely through the Werra valley, so it is also quite flat and therefore easy to ride. The route changes several times between Hesse and Thuringia and passes several memorials to the former inner-German border. You can tell which of the two federal states you are in by whether or …

After breakfast at the hotel, we leave Eisenach and cycle a section of the previous day's cycle path back to Hörschel. Incidentally, this is where the "Rennsteig" hiking trail begins over the heights of the Thuringian Forest. 🥾🎒

Then we cycle to Herleshausen in Hesse. 40 years ago, this was the only road crossing in Hesse between the Federal Republic …

Nice tour.
From gravel to forest floor and asphalt, everything is available.
Through the towns mostly on the street.
Then a detour in Spichra for the open day at the waterworks

On the Werra Valley Cycle Path you are often sent through the villages, although there are shorter routes on the Werra. When following you can abbreviate.
