Heyerode–Oberdorla Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A railway cycle path is like a green ribbon that gently winds through the landscape, telling stories of a bygone era. Where trains once rolled and connected distant places.

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.

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.

The Eiserne Hand signpost

Highlight • Monument

The Iron Hand signpost that can be seen here is a replica of the ancient original signpost that had been in place for centuries. The mere fact that the signpost was made of metal shows the importance of this marking, but also of the trade routes through the middle of the Hainich. The original signpost from the Middle Ages can now be viewed in the castle in Mülverstedt.
Each of the five fingers points in a different direction and used to be a valuable guide for hikers and merchants.
