    The Ilm, the starting point of the Ilm Cycle Path, is formed by the confluence of the source rivers Lengwitz, Taubach and Freibach. You have to walk down a bit from the bike path to see this.

      The Ilm rises in the Thuringian Forest southwest of Ilmenau, then flows through a heavily karstified region, where parts of its water seep away and flow through Springe into other tributaries of the Saale, via Weimar and Apolda to the state border with Saxony-Anhalt, where it flows into the Saale.
