Bis Neu-Eichenberg für meinen Geschmack etwas zu viel Asphalt, danach sehr schön! Ich empfehle allerdings, nach Lindewerra noch bis Werleshausen am östlichen Ufer der Werra entlang zu laufen, das ist schöner. Am Ortseingang von Werleshausen gibt es dann noch eine Brücke.

An sich schöne und landschaftlich reizvolle Tour. Den Abzweig an der Elleröder Straße hinter Hedemünden dringend überarbeiten, die eingezeichnete Route führt in eine Sackgasse. Hier ist ein Fahrradweg ausgeschildert, diesem folgen. Auch dass die Route hinter Witzenhausen nicht weiter an der Werra entlangführt, sondern einen eigentlich unnötigen Schlenker auf schlechten Wegen macht, wirkt etwas erzwungen um mehr Höhenmeter oder Distanz zu erzielen. Ansonsten wie gesagt schön und mit guten Fernblicken, eine durchaus lohnende Tour.
