View of the Saale in Saalfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous spots for a cozy break, where you can let your gaze wander or simply listen to the rushing of the Saale.

Carl Zeiss Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The construction work is ongoing. It's best to take the detour straight away and then back onto the Saale cycle path at the Pioneer Bridge.

The Saale is always an eye-catcher. Most of it is simply beautiful in its natural state.

Göritzmühle Weir

Highlight • Structure

Nice play opportunity for children. Maybe with bathing shoes.
Others also go with hiking boots and gaiters (komoot.de/tour/897261757?ref=atd)
