The Werra Bridge in Creuzburg, together with the Liborius Chapel on the eastern bank, forms one of the town's landmarks. The bridge is the oldest surviving natural stone bridge in the eastern German states and the oldest surviving bridge along the entire course of the Werra River. This ensemble makes for a great photo opportunity in almost any weather.

The bridge is a great place to take a break. There are also seating areas. There's also parking on both sides. In addition to hiking trails, the Werra Valley Cycle Route and the Hercules Wartburg Cycle Route also run here.

Perched high above the medieval half-timbered town of Treffurt, the Normannstein Castle watches over the town and the Werra Valley. The castle, which is also accessible by car and wheelchair accessible, offers a fantastic view of the town and the Werra Valley.

Creuzburg Castle, majestically perched on a mountain spur above the town of the same name on the Werra River, is an impressive and historic site.
