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.

At first glance, it seems to be legally passable for all …

It's worth a stop! Information boards on both sides of the bridge tell the rich history of both towns. A detour to the historic town center is definitely worthwhile. I …

September 19, 2025,Werratal-Radweg – 4 Etappen von den Quellen entlang der Werra bis Wilhelmsglücksbrunn - Tag 3 - von Meiningen nach Vacha

Wonderful weather, great trails, but occasionally the villages were rather unpleasant. No bike paths.

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 …

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 👍🌞🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

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.

July 28, 2021,Ostsee Tag 34: Berka - Meiningen

I'm lucky today. In the village there is a Rewe with Böcker and thus breakfast in the immediate vicinity of the campsite. It will be around nine o'clock before I leave Berka.

I had to pack the tent wet again. It rained during the night. When's the next time? The weather is changeable and especially cool in the morning and …

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. 😊🏕️🚵🚴
