Rothenburg Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice cycle path, through the forest and along the Saale. The railway tracks have something of the Harz Mountains about it. 🚂

April 23, 2022,Halle-Georgsburg bei Könnern und retour

The tour was about 17km longer and of course started in Halle. Unfortunately, Komoot did not record. Was it because I rode my bike along the bottom of the Saale and only "appeared" in front of Wettin? 😄

Also a worthwhile, varied section along the Saale. Suitable for families and by train, the journey to and from the hotel is easy to do.

The plan for today was to photograph the bee-eaters. It should be different again.
There is an old school building in Rothenburg, which is lovingly cared for by volunteer members. A museum is also in the building, where many memories of one's own childhood are awakened.
