A very pleasant bike path that's also wide enough. The views of the countryside are beautiful.

The Werra River has not one, but two sources. While the "rear source" is located at this highlight, the so-called "front source" is located near Fehrenbach. The source was first tapped in 1909. Further information can be found on the information boards on site.
