Ideal hiking parking lot for tours around Creuzburg. The parking spaces are partly shaded under trees.
Covered information boards show hiking and cycling trails and places of interest. Tables and benches are available for a break after the hike.
The Werra Bridge and Liborius Chapel are right next door, and short paths lead from here to Creuzburg and the Gottesackerkirche.
The top Creuzburg hiking trail is recommended: around 6-7 km lead through the Ebenauer Köpfe and Wisch nature reserves to the Gottesackerkirche and Creuzburg. And for Touringen stamp collectors, there are 4 stamps to collect on the circular trail.

Creuzburg

Highlight • Settlement

In Creuzburg you reach the Werratal, which is surrounded by striking hills. The small town, which is one of the oldest in Thuringia, lies about two kilometers away from the former inner-German border. It was thus directly in the five kilometer wide restricted area.

Kreuzburg has a lot of sights, such as the eponymous castle Creuzburg, the old Werra bridge, the Nicolaikirche or the old city wall. Also in terms of accommodation, the small town has a rich offer from camping to hotels. All information can be found here: creuzburg-online.de/tourismus/gastlichkeit

Gate to the Rennsteig Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

Cozy inn where you can dine as well as stay overnight. Located directly on the Rennsteig and the Werra-Burgen-Steig, but also worth it for hikers who plan day trips through the Thuringian Forest around Eisenach.
