Bridge of Peace

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge as a means to an end, e.g. on the circuit around the Bleiloch (komoot.de/highlight/3556438), unfortunately a separate cycle path on the bridge was forgotten 🤣

Formerly for trains and cars (extremely tight). After the Schleiz-Saalburg railway line was shut down, a very well-developed cycle path was created in the former track bed, which is separated in the area of the bridge.

Bleiloch Dam

Highlight • Monument

The 65-meter-high and 205-meter-long gravity dam built between 1926 and 1932 near Gräfenwarth and Schleiz dams 215 million cubic meters of water in the Saale. This makes the Bleilochtalsperre the largest reservoir in Germany in terms of volume.

Green Rock

Highlight • Lake

Definitely not visible when there is a full traffic jam. Due to the current low water level, it is possible to walk up to the buoy

Once you're here, it's best to do the whole circuit around the lead hole: komoot.de/highlight/3556438
