Elisabethpfad

Highlight • Trail

The Elisabethpfad 2 from Eisenach to Marburg is 193 km long; the Way of St. James is 178 km due to occasionally deviating routes.

The Pilgrim Guide 2: Eisenach Marburg describes the Elisabethpfad from Eisenach to Marburg. At the same time, this pilgrim route closes a gap in the network of the Way of St. James. As a Way of St. James, it offers route variations in some places that are closer to the historically assumed routes of the St. James pilgrims. These are marked with the scallop shell. The Elisabethpfad, on the other hand, is marked with the Elisabethpfad logo. In the forest, the marking is then always reduced to painted yellow arrows.

Hiking parking lot Creuzburg

Highlight • Parking

Ideal hiking parking lot for tours around Creuzburg. The parking spaces are partly shaded under trees.
Covered information boards show hiking and cycling trails and places of interest. Tables and benches are available for a break after the hike.
The Werra Bridge and Liborius Chapel are right next door, and short paths lead from here to Creuzburg and the Gottesackerkirche.
The top Creuzburg hiking trail is recommended: around 6-7 km lead through the Ebenauer Köpfe and Wisch nature reserves to the Gottesackerkirche and Creuzburg. And for Touringen stamp collectors, there are 4 stamps to collect on the circular trail.
