Werra Cycle Path near Meiningen

Highlight • Cycleway

The path totally surprised us. Although the main road is not far, you can't hear the traffic. Nice to drive.

South of Sülzfeld lies the so-called Grabfeld, a gently rolling hilly landscape in the Franconian-Thuringian border region. Here you cycle through expansive fields, over gentle hills and through small forests. The wide views over the countryside are fantastic and you can really enjoy them on the good cycle path.

Hotel and Restaurant Brückenmühle

Highlight • Restaurant

Anyone who once wanted or had to go from the Vorderen-Rhön or the Amt-Sand to the town of Meiningen crossed the Herpf on an arched stone bridge above the town of Walldorf.
Mainly the wagoners were dependent on this main crossing. What could be more natural to raise a bridge toll? For this purpose there was a small customs house on the right hand side downstream. A small cutting mill was operating about 100 meters below.

Before the carters tackled the steep mountain called the "Brückenküpel" on their way to Meiningen, they took a short break. This resting place may have been the reason for the creation of a rest house, which later developed into an inn for the "bridge mill".

About 200 years ago, beer and brandy were probably licensed. A study by the well-known court painter Carl Wagner, which he drew around 1840, shows a covered terrace in a beautiful wooden structure on the east side. In the background you can see Landsberg Castle, which was completed by this time. On the other side of the street, where today there is a beautiful excursion and dining establishment with a hall, there was only a bowling alley at that time. This shows that the bridge mill was a popular place for young people.

Fountain in the English Garden, Meiningen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful city park with a large pond in the middle of Meiningen. In the middle of the benches to relax. Sometimes there are ducks to feed.

After the fog in the Werra valley had cleared this afternoon, I got on my bike and did one of my rounds with little innovations 😉. It was relatively fresh, but almost windless, so that the tour was pretty easy to drive.
