Werra Cycle Bridge (Pylon Bridge Frankenroda–Ebenshausen)

Highlight • Bridge

A bicycle bridge over the Werra is more than just a crossing - it is an invitation to experience the beauty of the landscape from a new perspective.

Werratal Cliffs Near Frankenroda and Falken

Highlight • Gorge

When I reached the cliffs I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There they stood, towering, mighty and impressive, and it was as if the cycle path had forced its way right through these ancient rocks. On one side of the path the Werra, flowing calmly and serenely, and on the other side these huge cliffs that seemed almost alive in the morning sun.

It was an amazing sight and a bit like cycling through a huge open-air museum. The sun played with the light and shadow on the rocks and I couldn't help but keep stopping to enjoy the view. The cliffs seemed to tell stories from long ago and I felt like a small part of that long history.

The cycle path itself was a joy to ride. It was well maintained and took me through a landscape that seemed somehow magical. At times I was in the shadow of the cliffs, at times in the sunshine on the banks of the Werra. There was always something new to see and I enjoyed every minute of this ride.

Farmers' Pulpit Falken

Highlight • Historical Site

On February 13, 1525, the famous farmer's leader Thomas Müntzer stood on the slope above the Werra and called out courage to around 1000 rebellious farmers from the Treffurt area. A memorial plaque was placed here during the GDR era. The inscription reads: "Peasant pulpit".
From here, Thomas Müntzer called on the Falken farmers to fight against the masters.
Spurred on by the farmer's leader, the angry farmers devastated monasteries and aristocratic residences in southern Eichsfeld as well as the Großburschla monastery during the Peasant War.

Cycle Path Along the Cliffs

Highlight • Cycleway

It's very impressive to cycle right next to the cliffs. The cycle path is in good condition, but quite narrow.
