Covered Bridge on the Eselradweg

Highlight • Bridge

This is not the Kunitzer Hausbrücke 🙈
This bridge is located in the old railway area between Bürgel and Graitschen, is also beautiful, but much smaller than the Hausbrücke

Model of the Kunitzer Hausbrücke

Highlight • Bridge

The wooden bridge is a smaller version of the 1945 destroyed and in 2012 again built Kunitz Hausbrücke. Truly idyllically situated in the countryside, the bridge spans the tracks.

Kunitz House Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

The tour begins in Bad Klosterlausnitz at the thermal baths, where there is also good parking if you come by car.
The mill cycle path is one of my most beautiful cycle tours that I have experienced so far. Starting with the Eisenberger Mühltal with its 9 mills, one of which I must have missed. :-) Milos forest house. ... …

From Jena, we took the Saale Cycle Path to Golmsdorf – a wonderful stretch of the Saale Valley on a perfectly maintained cycle path.
In Golmsdorf, we turned east. The route via Bürgel to Eisenberg runs partly along a former railway line and is scenically beautiful. After Löberschütz, they apparently "forgot" to upgrade the cycle path, so the route continues …

Today we went along the Thuringian Mill Trail. It started off with a light drizzle, but then it dried up. Unfortunately, we couldn't find all of the 20 mills that were promised. The trail itself was well signposted and easy to ride.

Today I made the most of my day off. After I had breakfast with my daughter and she left for her internship, I hopped on my bike, went through the Mühltal to Hermsdorf, from there through the Zeitzgrund to Stadtroda, from Stadtroda the bike path to Jena, in Jena starting in Lobeda, past the stadium and the Ostbad towards Porstendorf …

On our Wednesday tour we rode the Thuringian Mill Cycle Path from Jena/West via Bürgel, Eisenberg, Hermsdorf, Stadtroda to Jena Göschwitz. In addition to the many mills in Mühltal and Zeitzgrund, the castle church in Eisenberg was also worth seeing.
