This is a special point! Three large river systems meet here. However, this is not unique in Germany. I liked the design of the place.

Dreistromstein - dreifache Wasserscheide - 108,25 km ab Hörschel - (60,05 km ab Blankenstein) - 812 m ü.NN - Dreistromstein - Dreiherrenstein am Saarzipfel - Soldatengräber Das hier am Saar besonders reichlich fallende Niederschlagswasser fließt – einmalig in Deutschland – sogleich drei verschiedenen Strömen zu: Der Elbe, dem Main und dem Rhein. Auf engbegrenztem Gebiet entspringen nämlich im Schatten des Hochwalds drei Wildbäche, einer kaum 500 m vom andern, der Rambach, der nach Norden zur Schwarza in den Elbebereich hinabrinnt, die Grümpen, ein Nebenbach der zum Main hinstrebenden Itz, und das Türkengründlein, welches nach seiner Vereinigung mit dem Mutzgründlein die Saar bildet und als erster bedeutenderer Zufluss die junge Werra (Weser) verstärkt. Einbeziehung ihres Gebiets, so musste die Anlage statt auf dem Saar gleich daneben, auf dem meiningischen Forstort Rattelsberg, errichtet werden. Das Denkmal besteht aus einer dreiseitigen Sandsteinpyramide, die sich aus einem massiven Untergrund von rundlicher Form erhebt, gebildet aus typischen Gesteinen der jeweiligen Stromgebiete (Elbe: Granit, Rhein: Quarz, Weser: Grauwacke). Auf den Seitenflächen der Pyramide sind die Namen der oben erwähnten Bächlein nebst denen der sie aufnehmenden größeren Gewässer eingraviert. Darunter die Namen der Staaten, deren Grenzen und Hoheitsgebiete sich ehemals an diesem Punkte berührten: Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Sachsen-Meiningen-Coburg (als Nachfolger der reichsunmittelbaren Herrschaft Schaumberg) und Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Dreistromstein Dreistromstein Dreistromstein Die Einweihungsfeier begann am 7. Juni 1906 früh um 08:00 Uhr. Aus Limbach kamen die Mitglieder des Rennsteigvereins, dort hatte gerade ihre Jahreshauptversammlung stattgefunden. Fürsteher Ludwig Hertel erteilte zunächst Herrn Kümpel das Wort, nach dessen Rede wurde die Stiftungsurkunde verlesen. Ihr Wortlaut war folgender: "Gemein derer Renner uf dem Waldhûz.

The location, lonely and closely connected to nature, the Werra spring, a lion's head, as the beginning of a river that leads up to the North Sea, was the basis for the special topic of this project. As an overall concept, something should be created where people are able to see the beautiful again and enjoy the wonderful. The design of the building is based on the architecture of the Swiss mountain huts. The basement and the ground floor are made of precast reinforced concrete. The attic is built using a timber frame construction. The building material wood is a main theme. A connection between tradition, old wood and modernity was created.

In addition to the inviting hiking hut, the area at the source of the Werra is adorned with a special feature, the leaning tower. This tower with an inclination of 12 degrees is unique. Created at the request of the operator Wilfried Ehrhardt, we planned, manufactured and installed it on the Rennsteig - on the ridge of the Thuringian Forest. Visitors can walk up the tower and marvel at nature at their feet from above. The viewing platform can be reached via an inclined plane, 24 meters long. No step stands in the way of experiencing this individual building. Source: https://www.wegra-anlagenbau.de/nachrichten/schiefer-turm.html

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: https://www.werraquell-huette.de/
