Scenic Path Along the Orla

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful route along the Orla River and train platforms. 😁 Especially not very busy, which surprised me, but oh well 🤷. All the more peaceful for cycling 🚴‍♀️.

View of Orlamünde from the Saale River

Highlight • Viewpoint

directly at the cycle path alternative between Freienorla and Niederkrossen there is a flat course of the cycle path. At this point, it offers a good bottom-up view. (Upper town of Orlamünde with church and bower)
