Marienthal Bridge

This pretty natural stone arch bridge was built in 1752. Then, as now, no cars drive over it. From the bridge you have a romantic view of the Apfelstädt river. There is a hose dispenser nearby.

May 1, 2022,Auf den Spuren der Drei Gleichen - Erfurt 2022

On the third - day of my - Erfurt trip, I met @Huckybear today, who moved from Berlin to Erfurt about a year ago to escape the federal capital ruble.

We met at an initially cool 10°C with a cloudy sky. However, this should change during the day to a sunny 27°C (measured in the sun).

April 4, 2024,Etappe 2: Von Gotha nach Erfurt – Thüringer Städtekette

The second stage to Erfurt is excellent to drive. I particularly liked the town of Mühlberg, with its baroque church and great atmosphere. The last few kilometers felt like it was all downhill 😃.
In Erfurt I now take the train to Weimar, my timing is tight and I have to skip the third cycling stage.

The bike tour itself took us from Gotha to Erfurt and was pretty easy to do. Shortly before Erfurt we refreshed ourselves in a tourist restaurant with wine spritzer and wheat. We …

Great lunch break made in the "Pigeon's Nest" in Mühlberg/ Drei Gleichen. Here, in 1991, someone saw a treasure in a rundown estate and made something great out of it: golf course, riding stables, campsite around the corner and a beautiful area for cycling. And three …
