Gravel Path to Lauchröden

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A good path that is great for riding your (gravel) bike. There are many green fields and meadows to look at on both sides of the path. Sometimes you can also see horses in the paddock.

Vacha-Philippsthal Bridge and Berlin Wall Memorial

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 …

August 2, 2021,Werra-Fulda-Runde E03 Creuzburg - Bad Salzungen

Yesterday Anja made a point that we would take all the rain gear with us for free ... someone must have heard that upstairs😱
Today she could use everything: from the helmet protection to the gaiters⛈
The highlight of the day was the Monte Kali near Heringen. It's unbelievable that people can pile up such mountains 😱

It's a shame when the local authorities aren't really on the ball. Today's example: we cycled about 5 km and the signposted cycle path ended in a construction site. That's not a problem at first if a detour is offered. Unfortunately, in our case there was no detour. So we went back and 5 km there and 5 km back …

July 17, 2021,Werratal von Breitungen bis Hörschel

That was the second stage on the Werra, along the former inner-German border. You hardly notice it, but the cycle path in Hessen is clearly marked as such and a cobblestone city center speaks more for Thuringia. Otherwise, the bike path planner has built in some steep climbs again, it remains quite challenging for a river bike path. But what …

Great bike tour along the Werratal bike path. Worth seeing is Vacha with its old town and the former watchtower of the GDR on the Werratalbrücke.
If you have time, you can visit the salt mine in Merkers on the way back (after registration).

June 28, 2024,Fietsen-Tour 🚴‍♀️ 09: Eisenach - Bad Salzungen

After breakfast at the hotel, we leave Eisenach and cycle a section of the previous day's cycle path back to Hörschel. Incidentally, this is where the "Rennsteig" hiking trail begins over the heights of the Thuringian Forest. 🥾🎒

Then we cycle to Herleshausen in Hesse. 40 years ago, this was the only road crossing in Hesse between the Federal Republic …

Sixth day - not that hot anymore, maybe 28°C in the afternoon. From Eisenach back to the Werratal to Hörschel. Continue via Herleshausen Gerstungen, Heringen and Philippsthal. Route dominated by Monte Kali. Via Tiefenort to Bad Salzungen, Immelborn and Breitungen. Only 26°C left!

Nice tour.
From gravel to forest floor and asphalt, everything is available.
Through the towns mostly on the street.
Then a detour in Spichra for the open day at the waterworks

May 25, 2022,Wittgenthal - Bad Salzungen - Eisenach, Werratalradweg 3/5

Today we went to the third and longest stage of our bike tour. From Wittgenthal via Bad Salzungen, Philippsthal and Heringen to Eisenach.
The route again went close to the Werra through meadows, fields, forests and various villages. Some places have beautifully prepared half-timbered houses. We also had great views of the two salt mountains of Philippsthal and Heringen. The …
