Marienthal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This pretty natural stone arch bridge was built in 1752. Then, as now, no cars drive over it. From the bridge you have a romantic view of the Apfelstädt river. There is a hose dispenser nearby.

February 13, 2022,Drei Burgen und ein Schloss.

As early as the lark, I took the train from Jena Westbahnhof to Erfurt.
Glorious sunny weather. Pretty cold in the morning, later very pleasant.
My circular route was almost completely paved - no mud today. 😁

From Erfurt I rode the chain of towns to the same castle - Mühlberg/Mühlburg - Bach experience route - Wachsenburg - Arnstadt - …

January 25, 2025,Fahrradtour nach Mühlberg, 25.01.2025 ⛅️🌤️

The mild weather today was practically tempting. So we got on our bikes and set off. First we headed aimlessly southwest towards Drei Gleichen, a classic in the Erfurt area, which offers a variety of views of Wachsenburg, Burg Gleichen and Mühlburg. The final destination was Mühlberg at the foot of Mühlburg, which is one of the oldest places in …

In Mühlberg I was a bit disoriented, I didn't think it was that bad, it's a nice little place, you can look twice there :-)

May 20, 2023,3 Gleichen Runde von Erfurt

Today the same 3 rounds from Erfurt via Ingersleben and Mühlberg to Arnstadt back to Erfurt. The sun ☀️ didn't make it today, so the bike paths were very empty today. Nevertheless, a nice round with Geraradweg - Apfelstädt Radweg - Burg Grafen Radweg 😀👍✅

After walking the three equals a few times, today I went up by bike. The tour and idea was stolen from @Joern. Thanks for that! Driven slightly differently.

July 30, 2025,Erfurt-Mühlberg-Arnstadt-Erfurt; RG8

Today's group tour didn't go so well.
We had to repair a flat tire, and the e-bike had a hub gear 🚴‍♀️, so it was a bit more difficult. But we managed. Unfortunately, no pictures.
And then someone hit a bollard. Thankfully, only minor injuries, and the bike survived. But there will be bruises 😪

August 11, 2024,Drei Gleichen Runde von Erfurt

The Drei Gleichen Runde is on the program several times a year. A tour past the three castles south of Erfurt. Relatively unspectacular, but still beautiful and always with new impressions. You pass two of the oldest places in Thuringia and also descend an OTRBW.
