April 9, 2024,Via Regia, Tag 8, von Frienstedt nach Eisenach

Not on the Via Regia and the Ecumenical Pilgrimage Route today.

Shortly after setting off I came across a signpost to Eisenach. Mostly on the Nessetal cycle path, also an old railway line.

Weather changeable. Strong headwind from midday and light rain in the afternoon.

Overnight stay with the Protestant deaconesses in Eisenach.
