Stone Arch Bridges on the Heyerode–Langula Rail Trail

Highlight • Bridge

Here you will find three old stone bridges in the middle of the forest, which remind you of the time when trains were still rolling between Langula and Heyerode. The old railway line has been turned into a beautiful bike path here.

Old Station Country Inn, Heyerode

Highlight • Restaurant

Between 1911 and 1968, the “Vogteier Bimmel” railway crossed the Hainich National Park. There was a train stop in Heyerode. You can still admire the wonderful, colorful old train station there today. There is now a country inn with overnight accommodation: landgasthof-hainich.de.

Heyerode border house

Highlight • Monument

It is called Grenzhaus because it used to divide the Catholic Eichsfeld from the Protestant surrounding area. A beautiful half-timbered building. There are also parking spaces nearby and you can take beautiful tours of the Mühlhausen city forest and the Hainich from here.

Bette Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Betteleiche (Beggar's Oak) is a very imposing tree and is one of the oldest (600–800 years) and most striking trees in the Hainich National Park. The Ihlefeld shelter, restored in the summer of 2018, is located nearby and houses a small exhibition.
