The road is not cleared along its entire length in winter.

A beautiful old sandstone bridge is located in the Oberlind district of Sonneberg. It is now only open to cyclists and pedestrians, so you can relax there in peace and enjoy the view of the river.

This rest area is located in the Malmerz district of Sonneberg, directly on the Steinach stream. A map showing the hiking trails in the area is posted next to the bench.

Nice rest area but what is missing is space to park the bikes.

A small rest area near the river, shaded by some bushes, it's always a bit cooler on hot days. Also right next to the rest area is a comprehensive signpost and an information board about the Thuringian cycle path network. Unfortunately, it's also right next to the road.

A surprisingly large and representative building for such a small place.

A beautiful village church. It clearly shows that Oberlind once had greater significance than it does today.

There is a bench on the bridge from which you can take a short rest and look out over the river.
