バートベルカ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

このサイクリングツアーで唯一のとても美しいサイクリングロードでした。

A great place to take a break. There's also a secluded barbecue area that you can probably rent from the town of Bad Berka for an outdoor party. Nearby are a few small lakes, idyllically situated in this beautiful area. The whole drive is fantastic and a dream in good weather. From Blankenhain to the barbecue area, it's mostly downhill with two small inclines, but the return trip is a bit more challenging. :-)

Highly recommended, it is nice and quiet and you can enjoy nature

The Buchfarter Felsenburg, located on the steep shell limestone slope of the Illm River, is the only structure of its type in Central Germany and of particular cultural and historical significance. It was originally a castle complex belonging to the Counts of Orlamünde. Around the 12th century, 12 chambers of varying sizes were carved into the steep rock face in a row extending approximately 110 meters in length and at a height of 40 meters above the Illm River. The chambers were connected by a Romanesque hillside wall. Some wall remains and a round-arched doorway are still visible today. The rock castle had no military significance in the late Middle Ages. However, it served as a fully developed, impregnable refuge for a long line of counts, dukes, and electors.

Sorry, but that's the circular village of Tiefengruben! What idiot created this highlight? Milda is 21 kilometers away, located between Meckfeld and Zimmritz, not far from the A4 Bucha exit! The only thing that's correct here are the four photos!

Ilm cycle path towards Ziegengraben, very nice to cycle here.

The view of the beauty of nature relaxes the eyes. I always enjoy standing here, even for a moment.
