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 …

This cycle path leads directly along the Werra on the Werra cycle path between Philippsthal and Harnrode. The cycle path is easy to ride and offers many beautiful views, e.g. of the Kaliberge.

But I don't know what it will be like when school starts again. We followed the Werra cycle path towards Heringen and continued via Widdershausen, Dankmarshausen to Berka/Werra. Here we …

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.
