Highlight • Viewpoint

Rudelsburg and Saaleck are directly adjacent. While the Rudelsburg is preserved and you can visit a lot, the Saaleck is just a ruin.

You don't have to stand on the street to enjoy the wonderful view, there is a security lane, a kind of footpath. Very nice to look at. A real tip👍

September 15, 2023,Von Bad Kösen nach Großheringen

We actually wanted to take the train from Bad Kösen to Weimar and then return along the Ilmtal cycle path. However, there is replacement rail service on the first section. We prefer to ride our bikes to the nearest train station, from where we continue with the Regio towards Weimar.
