This section is awesome. The quality of the bike path is great. Very often there are benches to rest. The 5 tunnels are an experience. The signs are perfect. It's just fun.

February 23, 2025,Über Martinfeld zur Quelle der Unstrut und dann entspannt auf dem Kanonenbahnradweg zurück nach Geismar

The cycle path from Dingelstädt to Frieda is slightly sloping and can be used with all types of cycle, as it is paved throughout and is also very well signposted.
There are many small huts along the way for a rest in the shade.
