The Werra River is fed by two springs and flows through Germany's geographical center. A variety of wonderful spots await the leisurely stroller along the riverside paths.

One of these is located here on the way to the Eisfelder Ausspanne (Eisfelder Rest Area). The water is very cold. A seating area is available. From here, several paths lead up towards the Rennsteig Trail. The descent from there leads past the idyllic rafting pond to Sachsenbrunn with its centuries-old dancing linden tree.

The dammed water was once used for floating logs, hence the name.

Try your luck, this place is reminiscent of the time when gold was panned in the Thuringian Forest.

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.

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
