ヴォールスボルンのおすすめツーリングルート

Great fire brigade in town.

Easy-to-ride cycle path, partly gravel, otherwise good asphalt...

Great wooden bridge 🤩. But be careful, it's still busy in places.

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.

Originally, the Buchenwald Railway ran through this area, a sad chapter in history. Today, it runs through an intact nature reserve.

Away from the road, a quiet path leads above the old Schöndorf.

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