New cycle path, fine asphalt, pleases the racing bike

Finest asphalt - here the machine rolls

Great view of the Kyffhäuser Mountains

From here you can go in the direction of Halle/Saale and Nordhausen.

The castle well of the Kyffhäuser Monument is the deepest castle well in the world with a depth of 176 meters. It was driven into the rock between 1130 and 1170 and served to supply water to the castle residents. The water level remains constant at 9 meters, fed by seepage water. Modern camera movements allow visitors to look to the bottom of the well and gain a fascinating insight into medieval engineering. An absolute highlight of a visit to the Kyffhäuser Monument!

Well-developed cycle path for long rides

The well on the Kyffhäuser is the deepest castle well in the world. The depth is about three times the height of the memorial tower. The well pipe has a diameter of just over 2 meters. The well is fed by seepage water, so it is not groundwater. It is believed that the well was driven into the rock between 1130 and 1170. At that time it served to supply water to the castle residents. A recent analysis has confirmed that the sample taken was of the highest drinking water quality.

Exit towards Badra very bad asphalt, so be careful. Otherwise nice pass road with medium traffic (motorway feeder road, but not a fast route for cars). Relatively tight bends.
