엘스테라우에 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

The castle ruins can be visited free of charge at any time. Particularly worth seeing are the partially reconstructed round chapel and the stump of a round tower, both dating from around 1080. During the summer months, events such as open-air concerts and performances are frequently held on the grounds. A vineyard with over 500 vines, flowerbeds, and hiking trails have been created. The lapidarium within the castle grounds now comprises a collection of approximately 40 fieldstones and boundary stones from the region. https://www.groitzsch.de/freizeit-kultur-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/55-wiprechtsburg

The beautiful bench was located in the immediate vicinity of the treetop path.

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.

Beautiful cycle path with great views

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. 😅

and don't forget to imitate the loud call of a steam train during the crossing :-)

After the 2013 flood left severe damage to the bridge, it was meticulously renovated in 2017. The cladding of the arch alone (sandstone? 🤔 ) makes the bridge a real eye-catcher. 👍 Anyone who remembers the bridge's condition before the renovation will certainly fondly remember how the extended roadway arches practically tempted people to "roll over" it like a roller coaster.

very nice place to take a break
