Construction of the twin-towered St. Mary's Church, which dominates the cityscape, began during the Ottonian period. As the oldest surviving building in the city, it combines several architectural styles, resulting from a 1,000-year-old, eventful history. The town church forms the focal point of Meiningen's historic old town and stands on the south side of the market square. With its towers and nave, it towers above the surrounding buildings, which consist of half-timbered houses from the 17th and 18th centuries and neoclassical town houses from the 19th century. Near the north side of the nave is the "Heinrichsbrunnen" (Henry Fountain), featuring a statue of Emperor Henry II. According to tradition, Henry II initiated the construction of the church after his coronation as king during his visit to Meiningen in early January 1003. Source: Wikipedia

The route from/to Meiningen is very scenic, but a bit narrow when there is oncoming traffic.

A very scenic bike path with all kinds of terrain. There are some moderate climbs at times. Unfortunately, the path isn't well-signposted (with shops and refreshment stops), so always pack some snacks.
