    Tips

    Here, the Free State of Thuringia was able to create more space for the river and buy land. An island was created and two rivers. Now the river can create bank edges according to its natural dynamics, which enable the kingfisher to breed. Really nice to see. For children, I recommend the river discovery competition: blickpunkt-geraue.de!

      In 2022, the floodplain could be returned to the river. At medium high tide, the lowered bank areas flood and leave remains of the water in dredged depressions. This is how reeds and willows settle. Frogs and insects can spawn in the water sinks. On the other side of the river, buildings were dismantled to allow the floodplain to be flooded without damage in the event of a flood. Information about the conversion and a competition for children can be found at blickpunkt-geraue.de!

        A very nice, quiet cycle path. However, it's very narrow, so you have to be careful when there's oncoming traffic.
