Mihla between the Werra, cycling routes and hiking trails

Mihla offers a range of ways to enjoy active days: cycling routes pass through the town, while marked hiking trails lead from here to the Lautertal valley and the mountain regions of Hainich National Park. Paddling on the Werra is also part of the town’s appeal. If you’re looking for a more relaxed break between outings, the “Dr. Ernst Wiedemann” outdoor swimming pool has a solar-heated stainless-steel pool with separate areas for swimmers and non-swimmers. This gives you different ways to shape each day of your trip.

Cycling and hiking around Mihla

The Werra Valley Cycle Route and the Lautertal Cycle Route pass through Mihla. Both are useful points of reference if cycling is a factor in choosing your destination. For hiking, more than 100 kilometres of marked trails lead from Mihla to the Lautertal valley and the mountain regions of Hainich National Park. These two destination areas offer different directions for hiking. When planning, you can therefore decide whether to focus on cycling routes through the town or the extensive network of hiking trails. Check current local route information before setting out.

Paddling and the outdoor swimming pool

Paddling on the Werra is popular, and Mihla has a boat landing. If you plan this activity, it gives you a specific starting point for paddling in the area. For a day in the water, there is also the outdoor swimming pool: the solar-heated stainless-steel pool at the “Dr. Ernst Wiedemann” outdoor swimming pool is divided into areas for swimmers and non-swimmers. The two options offer different experiences—an activity on the Werra and swimming at the pool. Before your visit, check the pool’s current opening status and local conditions for paddling.

Culture in the wider destination of Amt Creuzburg

A distinct historical highlight in the wider destination of Amt Creuzburg is Creuzburg Castle. It was built between 1165 and 1170. The permanent exhibition at the castle museum covers the history of the castle, town and judiciary, as well as the history of the Landgraves of Thuringia. Michael Praetorius is also among the exhibition’s subjects: the composer and music theorist lived from around 1572 to 1621. Historic buildings also shape the appearance of Creuzburg beyond the exhibition. The stone Romanesque Werra Bridge was built in 1223; the Liborius Chapel, dating from 1499, stands right next to it.
