A lovely route, also suitable for walking. It's also good for older people, as the paths always lead back parallel to each other. I particularly like the small side paths leading down to the Ilmenau river.

If you happen to pass by here on a hike, the footbridge offers a beautiful photo opportunity, especially when the Ilmenau River is flowing as calmly as it was at our time.
