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.

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.

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 …

November 1, 2022,Thüringen (Thüringer Schiefergebirge): Von Harra zum Aussichtspunkt Agnesruh am Thüringer Meer; 011122

I discovered the tour on Komoot a while ago and decided to do it when I had the chance. I actually only know the area there from the water, because many years ago I regularly paddled down the Saale in a canoe to Saalburg or Saalburg.

A few notes on the way:

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 …

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 …

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 …
