Very nice building with a wonderful view of Burgk Castle from below. After the bridge turn left and you will get to the Jägersteig. Nice hiking trail.

Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.

Once a vacationer stronghold, in GDR times. Not so anymore. A beautiful place located in the valley. The Saale flows through the middle

Saale Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 43-meter-high tower is made of a steel and wood construction. The curved wood construction makes it architecturally interesting. You have to pay an entrance fee and climb 192 steps …

July 16, 2024,2. Etappe Saaleradweg: Hof - Ziegenrück
Today from Hof via Blankenstein, Saaldorf, Saalfeld to Ziegenrück.
First of all, here is the comment in the Bikeline cycling guide: This very hilly section is only recommended for sporty cyclists with trekking bikes or mountain bikes. The route, which cannot always follow the Saale river, has strong contrasts. You rarely cycle on cycle paths, often on quiet country roads …

The swallows from Hof knew better: no rain in the morning.

Starting on well-maintained cycle paths, side roads and sometimes main roads with very little traffic, the route goes through beautiful hilly countryside (ECO is not on today 🤗 - sometimes TURBO and 1st gear), along the Saale and through pretty little villages.

Today is the first stage with lots of very steep climbs but also lots of descents. The landscape is so beautiful. It was a wonderful day.😇

The first stage of our tour this year was completed in the best cycling weather. The sun shone the whole time, the wind didn't really bother us.
There were also a lot of paths. Sometimes we went along little-used and tarred farm tracks and back roads, sometimes along very beautiful forest and field paths, graveled and water-bound, but paved. But …

After a short loop through Hof, we headed north along the Saale River today.
The cycle path is mostly paved or paved with hard gravel. The route initially ran very close to the river. However, since the cycle path can't always run directly along the river, today's route continues with many small and large hills and mountains—1,100 meters of elevation …

The journey was the purest adventure. I'm slowly starting to hate the 9€ ticket, because the trains, except for the early one from Lichterfelde Ost to Falkenberg, were jam-packed. I spent the 2.5 hours from Leipzig to Hof standing in the middle of the aisle, one hand on a handle and the other holding on to the free-standing bicycle, which …

Very nice stage but very strenuous with many climbs, some of which are 18%. This stage is not for children and the untrained. Many paths lead through pure nature. Haven't seen a human soul for miles, only the birds, the rushing of the hall and the whirring of the tires could be heard. Simply fantastic for anyone who loves nature

Day 2 Saale cycle path
From Döhlau to Walsburg 77 km


This section was particularly strenuous. It was constantly going up and down again. Looked at the old town Hof in the morning. But not a city with a special charm 🤷. After Hof, the Saale cycle path leads along gravel paths along the Bleiloch reservoir through the Thuringian Slate …
