impressive, the tunnels on this route - but very cold in spring, certainly quite pleasant in summer.

The Mühlhausen city wall is one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in Germany. It encloses the old town for about 2.7 kilometers and was primarily built in the 12th and 13th centuries when Mühlhausen was an important imperial city. The complex consisted of an inner and outer wall with a moat in between, which strengthened the defense. Numerous towers and gates secured access to the city and allowed for the control of trade traffic. It is particularly noteworthy that large parts of the wall have survived to this day. Massive stone walls, ramparts, and embrasures offer an insight into medieval construction methods. Today, the city wall is an important landmark and invites visitors to experience the history of Mühlhausen up close.

The asphalt is superb to ride on and a fantastic experience when you cycle through the tunnels. Perfect for road bikes – but be careful: When you change sides of the bike path, you have to cross the tracks! When it's hot, the tunnels offer a welcome cooling-off point.
