    Here the cycle path leads through an open pasture landscape, which is particularly attractive in spring when the wildflowers are in bloom!

      The Gessental is an approx. 7 km long side valley of the Weißen Elster and extends from the Ronneburg plateau to the lower Elsteraue near Gera-Pforten. The brook valley with its side brook, the Lammsbach, cuts into the surrounding landscape up to 70 m deep.
      Between 1947 and 1990 upper and z. T. middle Gessental completely changed by the uranium ore mining. The villages of Schmirchau and Gessen disappeared as a result of the construction of the Lichtenberger open-cast mine, and massive interventions were made in the water system.
      In 2007, the Gessental, as a green clasp, connected the exhibition areas of the Federal Horticultural Show in Gera and Ronneburg in a unique way.

        From Collis to Ronneburg it goes through the Gessental. It goes easy up and down. Variety guaranteed.
