.... behind it is a large rheumatism clinic. So you can not only live and eat well and celebrate weddings there, but also get health care later on.

View of Rudolstadt and Heidecksburg Palace

Highlight • Viewpoint

Back on the Saale Cycle Path, this trail takes us out of Rudolstadt with a last very nice view of the Heidecksburg. This way through the Saale valley is in my opinion the most beautiful, even if the driveway is a little arduous.

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.

Schillerhaus Rudolstadt

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schiller House focuses on Friedrich Schiller's "Rudolstadt Summer" of 1788, a formative and happy period in his life during which he met Goethe and his future wife, Charlotte von Lengefeld. In the restored historical living quarters, the museum presents multimedia exhibitions and offers cultural events throughout the year, as well as an adjoining café with a garden.

Beautiful cycling weather. Where to? To Oberkrossen. Beautiful bike tour, it was worth getting the bike out again. Several people had the same idea today.

Oops, didn't see that the tour was public. FYI, after knee surgery and 12 weeks abstinence from cycling and hiking, dared a first "bigger" round today. And, it went great, better than climbing stairs 👍🏾🤣. Now it's time to build muscle and train.

The sun is shining so beautifully today that I had to go for a ride on my bike. It then became 34km. And I wasn't the only one who had such an idea 💡.

May 1, 2024,Fahrradtour nach Weißen

Because of the summer temperatures, I didn't start the tour until after 6 p.m. On May 1st, there were still a lot of people out and about in the evening.
It's a nice tour that I recommend. 🙋‍♂️

August 24, 2024,Rudolstadt > Kahla und zurück

The entire tour went to Kala.

Unfortunately, Komoot did not record the entire route, so a good 30 km and 190 meters of elevation are missing.

October 12, 2024,Fahrradtour von Schwarza nach Weißen

It was a very nice round in the morning.
Starting in the direction of Rudolstadt via Mörla past the Heidecksburg, down into the
city and on the so-called middle path to Etzelbach and Weißen. Back via Kolkwitz, Cumbach and Preilipp.
A nice, recommendable tour in
the best weather. 🚴🙋‍♂️
