露天掘りの美しい歴史の一部

I did exactly what Dirk described. I took the train from Jena to Camburg and then cycled along the Zuckerbahn cycle path. After a slight climb, the path becomes very flat and has many crossings over more or less busy roads. Of course, there are also many bridges. Orientation was sometimes difficult, but my intuition helped. Zeitz is very beautiful, but finding the Elster cycle path to Gera from there isn't easy. Still doable. 😁 Highly recommended.

The Lummersche Backhaus consists of the restaurant in the building and the bridge café on the Untermhäuser Bridge. You can sit and enjoy your meal in the historic building or on the bridge.

The Elster Bridge is a seven-arch bridge and a technical cultural monument from the late 19th century.

There are some good, covered rest areas along the Zuckerbahn cycle path, and good asphalt. You're away from traffic. Otherwise, it's a typical railway cycle path…straight ahead and no view. Trees and bushes on the left and right. Practical. 😅

The Zuckerbahn cycle path is a typical railway cycle path: straight ahead, nice asphalt, with trees and bushes on both sides. There's not much to see, and riding straight ahead gets a bit boring after a while. So, it's more of a functional cycle path, and you're away from traffic. It's worth mentioning that there are several good, covered rest areas along the path.

Great new cycle path along the Elster River. The Mühltal valley is almost even more beautiful. My recommendation is to follow the cycle path as it was sketched there and take your time in the Mühltal valley to enjoy it. And all without any inclines, wonderful!!

The Mühltal near Eisenberg is always worth a visit.
