ギュステンのおすすめツーリングルート

ギュステンから、ヴィッパー川沿いの自転車道を通ってザーレ川まで行きます。その後すぐにベルンブルクへ向かうのではなく、まず右方向のグローナへ、ザーレ川沿いに直接進みます。次に歩行者・自転車橋を渡り、ザーレ川沿いを直接下流に進みベルンブルク（6km）まで行きます。ザーレラートヴェークのサイクリストには、ここにもザーレ川沿いにキャンプ場があります。ベルンブルクからは、工業地帯を通り過ぎて右側を進み、左側から再びザーレラートヴェークに出てニーンブルクへ向かいます。ニーンブルクでは橋を渡って左へ行くのではなく、右方向のヴェドゥリッツへ向かい、カルベ・ザーレ・オスト（駅）（総距離37km）まで、またはカルベ・ザーレ・マルクトプラッツからフィールドを越えてシュネーベック・ザルツェルメンまで約49km（Sバーン）マクデブルクまで進みます。

At least the tower is clearly visible from the cycle path.

To say the road itself isn't very pleasant to cycle on is a very, very, very mild way of putting it. For me, it was the worst section of the entire R1 EuroVelo route I'd cycled so far! But the castle and its grounds were truly impressive.

An impressive sight even from a distance!

Very quiet area

Unfortunately, there was a strong westerly wind. But the cycle path is very idyllic.

In Hohenerxleben, the term "Kanonenbahn" refers to a historic section of railway that was part of the former Berlin-Blankenheim Railway. This line, also known as the Wetzlar Railway, was originally built for military purposes to quickly transport troops and equipment, especially in times of war, and was therefore given the name "Kanonenbahn." The line also served to relieve congestion on other important railway lines. The Kanonenbahn ran through Hohenerxleben and is still partially usable today as a railway cycle path, such as the bridge over the Bode River between Löbnitz and Hohenerxleben. However, the connection through the fields towards Bernburg has been interrupted since the demolition of a structure in 2009. The residents of Hohenerxleben would like to continue to have a connection through the fields to better enjoy nature and culture. In summary, the Kanonenbahn in Hohenerxleben is a historic railway section of military strategic importance, which is now partly used as a cycle path and whose connection to the fields towards Bernburg is still desired by local residents.
