The church in Leimbach near Querfurt offers a peaceful, authentic atmosphere far from the tourist crowds. One might ask whether a remote, small place is really worth seeing, but it is precisely this seclusion that creates space for undisturbed discovery: In the park next door, a beautiful old stone bridge arch has been preserved, miraculously still standing.

The bike path is really great! It runs next to the country road, but is separated from it by bushes. This means you can ride safely and stress-free on smooth asphalt to Hermannseck.
