View from Agnesruh

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice vantage point on the loop of the reservoir, you should walk the 50m down even if it is a bit steeper and treat yourself to the view.

Alpensteig in the Saale Valley Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Perhaps the most beautiful hiking trail I've walked in Thuringia. Simply wonderful how the small root path hugs the rocks with a view.

Saale Bridge, Harra

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice building from 1932, in 1945 the demolition took place and in 1953 the inauguration of the moved bridge from Grossheringen. General overhaul in 2000.

Tunnel to Totenfels

Highlight • Structure

At the end of the Totenfels single trail (komoot.de/highlight/3452816) it goes through the tunnel down to the Saale or up to the subsequent single trail, that's fun 👌🏻

November 6, 2021,Rundwanderung von Saaldorf zum Totenfels, über den Alpensteig und Agnesruh zurück

The start was at the parking lot in front of the bridge in Saaldorf. The first part of the way along the fast-paced road was quickly forgotten. We continued on the paved bike path and then on beautiful hiking trails to the Totenfels. The Alpensteig is still accessible until the end of December. Then nature is given rest for half …

September 15, 2024,D/TH/Rundwanderung Harra-Saaldorf-Harra an der Saale entlang

Beautiful circular hike along the Saale. Start/finish was at the Saale bridge in Harra. After crossing the river, we headed towards the Alpensteig, which was not signposted at the beginning. A wonderful path where you have to be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. And the view down to the Saale is always there. In Saaldorf, we stopped off at …

Important information in advance:
For reasons of nature conservation, the Alpensteig is open every year from 01.01. until 31.07. blocked! Unfortunately, I only noticed the sign at the end when I had already passed the section of the path.

So, now to the tour: I ended up in a really beautiful area again. The weather alternated between sunshine and snow …

November 24, 2021,Mit Ellie 🐾 am "Thüringer Meer" Teil 1

From Saaldorf to Harra not so great with a relatively large number of asphalt and gravel paths. Very bad at first the short stretch along the B90 (no sidewalk and no alternative to the shoulder, as there are crash barriers). From Harra/Nord train station, it's just fantastic 😍. Totenfels before crossing the Saale and Alpensteig ⛰ afterwards - awesome! The …

June 9, 2025,Thüringer Meer 🌊🚤 Alpensteig und Agnesruh

Today I hiked along the Thuringian Sea again.
My dream was to climb the Alpensteig trail. After searching for it once before in vain, I was determined to find it today... and I did. 😀

The Alpensteig trail, as well as the path to Agnesruh, leads high up along the steep banks of the Saale River.
Beautiful trails, some of …

June 21, 2025,🥾 Rennsteigwanderung nach Saaldorf über Alpensteig 🏞 - Runde von Harra

While some of the fun-loving hiking group enjoyed the day at the campsite, the other part set off on another hike. They followed the Alpensteig, a narrow hiking trail along the Saale River, to Saaldorf. A beautiful trail with fantastic viewpoints of the Saale. In Saaldorf, we reached the halfway point, turned around, and returned to a cycle and forest …

August 23, 2025,Rosenthal am Thüringer Meer🌊 Tour 23.08.2025

This is a very beautiful hike from the Harra campsite to Saaldorf via the Alpensteig trail.
The trail partially ran over rocky terrain, so you need to be sure-footed and not afraid of heights 🏔
In Saaldorf, the friendly owners of the snack bar opened their doors again especially for us after they had already cleared everything away due to …
