Hiking

This circular hike from Masserberg to the Werraquelle is a lovely family experience. Rest stops and playgrounds make the route varied. But there is also plenty of room to immerse yourself in nature.

After just a few meters of the hike, there is an adventure playground hidden in the forest next to the sports facility. This means your children can look forward to romping around at the beginning and end of the tour. The route to the Werraquelle runs along wonderful forest paths, where you can stop off in a cozy hut right next door.

On the way back, you pass the Rennsteigwarte, from which you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view. Right next door, the Turmbaude invites you to have a refreshment. A small playground at the foot of the observation tower keeps you motivated until the end of the hike.

Werra Spring Fehrenbach

Highlight • River

If you want to visit the Werraquelle, you strangely have two options. There are two Werraquelle in the Thuringian Forest: the rear spring near Siegmundsburg and the front spring here near Fehrenbach. You can fill up your water bottles at both. But only here at the front spring near Fehrenbach is there an additional hut that invites you to linger. The Werraquell hut was reopened at Pentecost 2019. Here you can try delicious Thuringian delicacies and recharge your batteries for your onward journey.

You can find the hut's opening times here: werraquell-huette.de

Rennsteigwarte on Eselsberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is magnificent - and so is the opportunity (except on Mondays) to have a meal right next door. Everything from roasts, cakes and beer to coffee is available.

Small, very beautiful Thuringian forest round, start in the fog in Masserberg. On soft forest paths we hiked to the Werraquelle, the only true one (some say that, others that way). Made me want to do the Werra cycle path right away!
The stop there is recommended 😋. Backwards we are on the observation tower Rennsteigwarte on Eselsberg and have …

We started our tour in fog, but then the sun gradually came through. It was a very beautiful hiking trail along the Rennsteig and also through a beautiful forest. The Werraquelle is recommended.
From the tower building we had a beautiful view of Thuringia. It was a great experience for our grandchildren.

A very nice hike, especially for small children. At the beginning and end you can head to the lovingly designed adventure playground. There is a lot to discover at the Werraquelle and you can cool off by the water. The Eselsberg also offers another opportunity to stop for a bite to eat and also has a small playground. The only …
