Wichtelpfennig Discovery Site

Highlight • Natural

Here and there you can find little pebbles, which are called dwarf pennies because they remind of the elves and dwarfs who have now moved away, nobody knows where....

The nature trail is approximately 4 km long and leads through the “Ebenauer Kopf and Wisch” protected area. Several display boards explain ecological, geological and natural history connections, as well as measures to preserve the cultural landscape.

Above the Ebenauer Köpfe you can walk to close to the edge of the demolition. From there you have a great view of the Werra, which meanders through the valley, and the city of Creuzburg.

A little end-of-year get-together clears the mind and makes room for the endless New Year's Eve feast 😅 We've left a few things unfinished from the old year and are looking forward to what lies ahead: new goals, new paths, new adventures...

A nice hike from Ebenau with many resting places and great views. When the weather is clear you can see the Wartburg from the Wisch. In the Gottesacker Church in Creuzburg you will be surprised with organ playing and you will learn interesting facts about the Werraland National Park.

A beautiful spring hike around Creuzburg. Similar to the Altmühltal Panoramaweg, the slopes are overgrown with elderberry bushes and are grazed by sheep. A detour to Creuzburg is of course mandatory. The castle was built in 1165-1170. Creuzburg is also known for its composer Michael Preatorius with his "Es ist ein Ros" sprung"

In between the GPS signal was gone for a kilometer. Maybe the break was too long ...

A very nice tour with 4 stamp stations. One hiker we met even had a stamp book from Thuringia (?) filled...
