The shelter itself is unremarkable, but the multi-line inscription is worth reading. Of course, the shelter also serves a weatherproofing function.

The cycle path is great to ride on, always along the Werra river.

It's a shame, we actually wanted to stop there for a rest, but the hut seems to have been demolished. Maybe there'll be a new one someday.

The castle grounds in Werleshausen are well-maintained. Its history is connected to Hanstein Castle and its family.

The Ausgespann on the Höheberg is an important crossroads on the Höheberg ridge. 😉

A good place to rest right next to the bike path in the shade under a linden tree. The square is called "Place of Encounter" because the border fence ran along this site during the division of Germany. A linden tree was planted here in remembrance on November 18, 1990.
