Maps and trails
Weißenborn lies at the foot of the Meißner Mountains and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The town offers a perfect combination of nature and city experiences for every taste. Weißenborn is known for its idyllic hiking trails through the forest or along the rivers Werra and Fulda to breathtaking viewpoints such as the Hohe Meißner or the Bilsteinfelsen.

The most important sights are Weißenborn Castle with its magnificent baroque garden and the historic old town with its well-preserved half-timbered houses. A stroll through the spa gardens is also well worthwhile.

Culture enthusiasts will be thrilled by the variety of museums: The German House shows exhibitions on the history of the region, while the local history museum provides insights into the life of past decades. In summer, there are also regular concerts on the market square.

For culinary delights, we recommend local specialities such as "Ahler Wurscht" (a smoked raw sausage) or "Grüne Soße" (a herb dip). You can also enjoy regional beers in cosy inns.

Outdoor activities are possible in Weißenborn at any time of year. In summer you can go hiking, cycling or canoeing on the Werra and Fulda rivers. In winter, the Meißner Mountains offer skiers and snowboarders numerous slopes.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the "Werratal-Therme" adventure pool with its various saunas and wellness offers.

Weissenborn is worth a trip at any time of year! Discover the beauty of this region for yourself - best on a walk through the old town or a hike through the forest. We guarantee you unforgettable moments in this charming little town at the foot of the Meißner Mountains!

    Schöne Tour. Viel Natur und Stille zum Entschleunigen. Leider heftiger Zeckenbefall.

    Am Wanderparkplatz in Weißenborn war die Beschilderung etwas verwirrend so dass wir den Weg entgegen des Uhrzeigersinn gelaufen sind, was unserer Meinung nach die bessere Alternative ist. Die Wegeführung über Feld- und Waldwege ist gut gewählt.

    Tolle Runde; schöne Wege - keine Wanderautobahnen - wenn nicht grad vorher der Harvestor seine Spuren gezogen hat; durch zumeist Buchenwald und über landwirtschaftliche Flächen mit freier Sicht; einige schöne Aussichtspunkte; reichlich Bänkchen und Schutzhütten; Gasthaus Faber im Ort Weißenborn sperrt auch nur auf, wenn Sie Lust dazu haben :-( Obacht mit den sonst reichlich vorhandenen und gut gesteckten Markierungen nördlich von Weißenborn im Bereich der L3300.

    Ich bin einfach nur fasziniert, über diese wunderschöne Radstrecke. Traumhafte Wegführung mit grandiosen Ausblicken auf die "Werrahügel" und Täler.Die Baustelle L107 bei Geismar ist fast fertig.( keine Schiebepassage) Die Tour wird bestimmt im Herbst nochmal mit einem Rennradfreund gefahren. Nicht nur zu Wandern sondern auch mit dem Rennrad ist diese Gegend sehr zu empfehlen. Die Steigungen sind gut zu fahren und ohne Eile war ich nach 04:12 am Ziel. Vielen Dank für die Ausarbeitung der Tour:)
