Suhl (Werra)

The Suhl in Berka / Werra, less than 1 km upstream of the mouth

The Suhl is an approximately 22 km long right tributary to the Werra in western Thuringia, Hesse and Thuringia in the border area.

It rises in the town of swampy ground, west of Etterwinden on the western slope of the mountain Pfaff. Then the Suhl flows through copper Suhl, Suhl Ettenhausen at where it is crossed by the Werrabahn, and the Lindigshof by Mark Suhl. Between Ettenhausen and Lindigshof the Suhl is dammed to a reservoir that was created in the late 1980s.

Mark Suhl is the largest town in the valley of Suhl. West of Marksuhl follow the places Wünschensuhl, remote Breitenbach Breitenbach house and Herda, all areas of Berka / Werra. In House Breitenbach the Suhl fed a pond that surrounded the former water castle house Breitenbach.

Below the commercial area Berka then the Suhl opens between Berka and Gerstungen from the right in the Werra. The last 500 meters of the Suhl are shown on the topographical map as Small Werra, according to a former tributary of the river Werra.

The Suhl was, like almost all small rivers, in use since the Middle Ages from the neighboring communities as Mühlwasser.
