Day 7 along the Ruhr, Möhne, Diemel, Weser and Werra. It was really fresh this morning, around 15°C, and long sleeves were the order of the day until 11:00 a.m. Pleasant day and many nice surprises on the Werra - great town and landscape. Meiningen and Themar are real gems.

Today's tour started with dark clouds and after a few kilometers with a short shower. After that it was always quite windy, of course in the form of headwind 🙄
After the start in Hildburghausen, it was always close to the Werra through meadows, fields, forests and smaller towns. There was a little more traffic around Meiningen. The bike path …

May 21, 2025,V. Etappe Werratal Radweg von Bad Salzungen nach Hildburghausen

From Bad Salzungen, the ride began with a truly beautiful countryside. Then came quiet side roads, occasionally busier roads, but also quiet village roads, and gravel forest paths. Things got truly relaxing after Untermaßfeld. A great bike path through meadows and fields, with mountains in the background, a few rocks, and brief glimpses of the villages and their churches. There …

In Bad Salzungen we first go to the supermarket to get some water. After all, it's going to be 30 degrees today. 💦

The next section of the cycle path along the Werra is really beautiful. The asphalt path runs very close to nature past mown fields and wet wastelands.

Nice tour from Hildburghausen to Bad Salzungen. Very dry at first (I forgot to fill up the drinking bottles). In Meiningen there was a delicious Thuringian bratwurst and a very nice companion to Bad Salzungen refined the tour well. The constant headwind was stupid.
