This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous spots for a cozy break, where you can let your gaze wander or simply listen to the rushing of the Saale.

Skilful swimming area Zeutsch, boat entrance at Sportheim, left before the bridge, easy entry with stairs, small bay, good because of the current

The start of this tour was a visit to the fairy grottoes in Saalfeld. Just beautiful and very interesting.

Then we went to Kahla, where we had booked our next overnight stay. The first route, which was much gentler than the first parts of the tour, takes us via Rudolstadt and past the Weißenburg

Finding a parking space was very easy today. And then we set off on the Saale cycle path towards Orlamünde. After the "wedding" of Saale💦 and Orla💦 we continued towards Pössneck through the beautiful Orla valley. In Pössneck we took the Saale-Orla cycle path towards Saalfeld. There the dark clouds☁️ were already gathering. The rain🌧 didn't take long to arrive, …

A nice relaxed, yet varied Komoot tour.
Top cycle paths and perfect signposting. I still got lost twice: once I rode after an interesting bike 😵‍💫 and once I looked at the beer garden and didn't see the sign. 🤷‍♂️
Encore was the bower in Orlamünde. Unfortunately not accessible. 🤔
Of course, there is also a small point of criticism: …

After we had an idea for a tour the evening before, we had to put it into action straight away. So we went to Göschwitz station. We took the train to Saalfeld and then back towards Jena. In Saalfeld we first went up to the castle. On the way there we noticed some Banksy graffiti. Nice. The castle is now …

The fifth stage is flat and well developed, it rolls along as if by itself. Tired legs will be happy 😌 It goes through the Saale valley, which rises to the left and right and you only climb it once at the Weissenburg. At the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view. Conclusion: Great stage!
