This section is awesome. The quality of the bike path is great. Very often there are benches to rest. The 5 tunnels are an experience. The signs are perfect. It's just fun.

August 31, 2025,Werra ➡️ Kanonenbahn-RW ➡️ Mühlhausen
Day 2 of the short circular tour. We started in glorious weather, and after a short ride, we encountered a highlight: the half-timbered town of Wanfried.
Shortly afterward, I had a small navigation error. During an unplanned detour from the planned route, my Garmin automatically rerouted us and displayed what it considered to be the optimal, i.e., shortest, route. Instead …

Day 4 in Muehlhausen. Today the goal from Mühlhausen was to reach the Kanonenbahnradweg by bike. It went up and down and we made it. Even the batteries still have residual energy.

Unfortunately, there were no draisines on the road today. The gastro at the Küllstedter train station is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. But the Dixi toilet was open …

And as if that …

The second stage took us from Wanfried to Mühlhausen in Thuringia in significantly better weather. On the 62 km, we rode on routes that were new to us, through beautiful landscapes into unfamiliar regions. There are mostly smaller towns where you'll search in vain for places to stop for refreshments. However, we are compensated for this with other things that …

.... Forest paths and the Kanonenbahn - a cool cycle path with a 1.5 km long tunnel, in which it would normally be pitch black and cold. I read that the lights go out at 7 p.m. and a warm sweater in your luggage at around 8° is good🫡.
(Near the Klostermühle we got really confused trying to get onto …
