Paradies Weir and Paradies Bridge

The paradise weir is located at the "exit" of paradise on the Oberaue.
You can sit nicely on the carry dock for paddle boats, watch the water and end the evening.

Animal Fountain in Paradies Park

Highlight • Monument

A good meeting place to start a tour. In summer you can just sit here and listen to the water. The fountain looks very chic with its animal figures.

Gigantic area for running, hiking, mountain biking.
Tip: After a summer rain, it is best to take the path up here next morning. When the clouds hang in the Jena valley, you think you are walking on the clouds :-)

Prince's Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The detour to the Fürstenbrunnen is always a must for us - at the start of the tour to fill up the fresh spring water and at the end to give your feet a refreshment just like Kneipp. It is a place of rest to gather and pause.

Very nice route for running and hiking. If you have managed the first 6 km uphill, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view over Jena and, as in our case, the colorful autumn forest. That makes you want more routes in the Saale Horizontale 😊

A morning tour along the core mountains. When I was in Jena, I often hiked, but never ran. That should change today. In many places there are beautiful views of the Saale valley and Jena. However, the paths along the shell limestone slopes are a highlight in themselves. A great start to a great Saturday, which I've been looking forward …
