Werraquelle

Here, at an altitude of almost 800 m above sea level, begins the journey of one of the most important and most beautiful rivers in Germany.

The Werra begins its almost 300 km journey here before joining the Fulda at Hannoversch Münden to form the Weser and finally flowing into the North Sea at Bremerhaven.

Die Quelle am Fuße des Eselsberges bei Fehrenbach wurde 1897 eingefasst und am 14. August des folgenden Jahres feierlich eingeweiht. Man bezeichnet sie auch als Schröder's spring socket according to master forester Georg Schröder from neighboring Heubach. The masonry work was carried out at the time by Elias Traut from Fehrenbach. Both gentlemen are immortalized today with commemorative plaques on the setting.

Since then, the water flows tirelessly through the jaws of a lion's head. In 2006, the spring was extensively renovated.

By the way, from the source also comes the Baptismal waterwhich was used for the commissioning of the Bombardier CityLiner aircraft CRJ 700 "Eschwege".

Direkt an der Werraquelle befindet sich ein kleines, gemütliches Wirtshaus das zu einer Rast einlädt. Neben Thüringer Spezialitäten und hausgebackenen Kuchen wird Ihnen auch das Lebenselixier, in Form des „Werraquelltröpfchen“ gereicht.
