Here at the Adlersbergbaude, Uli has all sorts of delicious things. Whether it's bratwurst, the very tasty Adlersbergbürger or soups, cakes and of course drinks. Highly recommended. Opening times are Tues-Sun 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

You simply have to visit the Werraquelle once. Super seating with good food, drinks are of course also available. Centrally located and easily accessible, there is a lot to see there. It's really worth it.

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source: To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)

The Adlersberg, easily accessible from all directions, offers variety. A hut with drinks and simple dishes, the tower with a view or the playground for the children. A detour is always worthwhile.

It was probably here that Goethe wrote his poem "Over all summits is peace" in pencil on a wooden wall on the upper floor on the evening of September 6, 1780. The picturesque shed is therefore of great cultural and historical importance.
