Model of the Kunitzer Hausbrücke

Highlight • Bridge

The wooden bridge is a smaller version of the 1945 destroyed and in 2012 again built Kunitz Hausbrücke. Truly idyllically situated in the countryside, the bridge spans the tracks.

Covered Bridge on the Eselradweg

Highlight • Bridge

This is not the Kunitzer Hausbrücke 🙈
This bridge is located in the old railway area between Bürgel and Graitschen, is also beautiful, but much smaller than the Hausbrücke

The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

If you don't want to do a long hike in this heat, just do one from home. Jena has many beautiful circular trails to offer. Even though I've cycled this route many times, it's always very interesting, as the natural surroundings are always amazing.

Another quick lap in front of the cake 🍰. The Bürgeltour is always great for this, around like num. Headwind felt all around. muggy. It must have rained somewhere else. It's green and colorful everywhere. But somehow the photo snaps don't always get along so well with red. Cake was delicious!
