Path Between Schwarzbach and Eckardts

Highlight • Trail

Seems to be a popular shortcut between Schwarzbach & Eckardts, which saves the (for cars) marginal detour via Hümpfershausen.

May 20, 2023,7. Tour Von Heringen (Werra) nach Meiningen

Our last stage starts with a cloudy sky and cold! But with tailwind! The cycle paths were a lot along the road... some were developed... generally the worst route 🙈 Had some nice impressions and ate delicious Thuringian dumplings. Arrived in Meiningen with sunshine 👍🌞🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

August 9, 2024,Etappe 1: Von Meiningen nach Vacha – Werratal-Radweg

Today we start in Meiningen. The trailer is following behind without me noticing it. I turned around a few times to see if it was still there. The trailer would have been enough, but I wanted to test the panniers too. I didn't think I could manage 75 km. My legs aren't even tired, but I didn't feel like sitting …

June 4, 2022,Werra-Radweg Tag 3 - Heringen-Meiningen🚴‍♂️

The morning starts early at the idyllic Heringen campsite along the Werra cycle path. The sun casts its first rays over the green hills as I slowly peel myself out of my tent. Although I wanted to start the day early, the start was a little delayed because, as a newbie to cycling, I was still struggling with how to …

April 29, 2023,Werratal-Radweg - Tag 2 - Von Meiningen nach Obersuhl

Second day of the Werra bike tour: we started in Meiningen and then went in search of the perfect Thuringian bratwurst. Wasn't that easy, but we found what we were looking for in Bad Salzungen. Then we crossed the border and went into the potash mining area.

The longer I cycle the Werra cycle path, the more I like it. The landscape is wonderful, the houses are very beautiful in different styles. Sometimes up, sometimes down, mostly paved paths, sometimes there are other types of terrain, but they are easy to cycle on. Since I travel with a tent, I have always had great little campsites. 😊🏕️🚵🚴

Nice in itself, albeit a lot on roads... The weather was good too, but: in Bad Salzungen the bike path is diverted, catastrophic signage, we then drove more than 10 km more. An absurdity.😡 Then again: after Tiefenort the cycle path was closed again, there were no indications or detours... None, we were really angry, but then we just drove …
