This bridge is the longest bridge in Thuringia with a length of 1681 meters. It is part of the train line Ebensfeld-Erfurt on which there are 29 valley bridges. Riding a bike under this imposing bridge is a real highlight.

Historic Town Bench on the Ilm-Rennsteig Cycle Path

Highlight • Rest Area

The cycle path was rebuilt when the railway line to Groß Breitenbach was closed. An easy way to drive towards Rennsteig.

Small round with the new bike from Ilmenau via Gehren and Jesuborn to Gräfinau-Angstedt and back along the Ilm.
Since the weather was nice, the camera ran with:

Small, nice route, mainly on asphalt, but also on forest paths. It rained the whole time, but the atmosphere was quite nice. :D

Finally rode a bike a bit again. It remains to be seen what the knee will think of it 🤔

Today we wanted to go on a nice tour along the Ilm cycle path, but it didn't turn out to be much. Rain, rain, rain. So common sense prevailed and we called it quits. The Ilm cycle path is really great. We'll be back.

A beautifully planned tour on the Ilm and Gera cycle path, which we sensibly abandoned near Ilmenau, has literally fallen through. 🌧️🌨️
It's a shame, it's a very nice cycle path. But we'll try it again when the weather is better. 😄

May 18, 2023,Stadtradeln Tag 18/2 - Von Paulinzella nach Ilmenau

Instead of taking the train to Ilmenau, we spontaneously decided to get off again in Paulinzella and to cycle home from there. In the end, that was almost as quick as taking the train with a change in Arnstadt.
And when hordes of men stormed the train in Paulinzella, we were even happier about the decision. ;)
We left Paulinzella …
