Since 2019 invites the in the beautiful Hiking area Werraquelle The mountain hut, situated at an altitude of 800 m, invites skiers, hikers and cyclists to linger with its modern, rustic interior, spacious terrace and exquisite menu.

In culinary terms, the hotel offers high-quality, seasonal food from the region. The fine steak dishes in particular are a succulent delight - prepared on the hotel's own lava stone grill with meat from local cattle. Quality German wines enrich the drinks menu, while the desserts and cakes - also made from local ingredients - are not only a treat for the palate, but a real eye-catcher. But lovers of meatless dishes will also get their money's worth here. Buffalo mozzarella with hearty grilled vegetables or hot steaming baked potatoes with salmon, for example, offer enough reason for light enjoyment against the magnificent backdrop of the Thuringian Forest.

Incidentally, the name of the hut comes from the nearby first spring of the Werra river, which was set in local natural stone in 1898 and today releases Thuringia's famous watercourse into the blue sky via the maw of a golden lion's head.

Tip: The house along the way is ideal for an extended stopover on a Rennsteig cycle path tour!
