The picturesque village of Lindewerra lies directly on the Werra River and is known for its beautiful half-timbered houses. Until 1989, it was literally on the edge of the world: the Inner German border ran right through the village. Today, Lindewerra is an idyllic place to take a break, admire the old bridge, and enjoy the peace and quiet and nature surrounding the river.

What a charming and lovely place to stop for refreshments up here on the Teufelskanzel! 👍 I really like the place and the food was delicious too.

The Ausgespann on the Höheberg is an important crossroads on the Höheberg ridge. 😉

A good place to rest right next to the bike path in the shade under a linden tree. The square is called "Place of Encounter" because the border fence ran along this site during the division of Germany. A linden tree was planted here in remembrance on November 18, 1990.
