Saale Beach Bleichwiese, Rudolstadt

Highlight • River

Very nice events are always held at this place. Bird shooting is the highlight of the year. You can also use the space for parking. It's even free and the city center is not far away.

Hello Bea, if you're ever in Thuringia and come to Saalfeld, get in touch. 😄 We'll do a nice mountain tour 🤣

I shouldn't have done it. Even the wind didn't provide any relief. I somehow thought I'd be cycling through secluded forests. But the longest stretch was full sun on small back roads or bike paths. Otherwise, it was great. Just way too hot. That's why I didn't continue on to Jena as originally planned.

A nice relaxed, yet varied Komoot tour.
Top cycle paths and perfect signposting. I still got lost twice: once I rode after an interesting bike 😵‍💫 and once I looked at the beer garden and didn't see the sign. 🤷‍♂️

Of course, there is also a small point of criticism: …

Finding a parking space was very easy today. And then we set off on the Saale cycle path towards Orlamünde. After the "wedding" of Saale💦 and Orla💦 we continued towards Pössneck through the beautiful Orla valley. In Pössneck we took the Saale-Orla cycle path towards Saalfeld. There the dark clouds☁️ were already gathering. The rain🌧 didn't take long to arrive, …
