From the Eichicht dam you have a fantastic view of the Saale, which is dammed here. The dam itself is the final structure of the Saale cascade in the Obere Saale dam system.

View of the Saale Bridge in Saalfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous places for a cozy break, where you can let your eyes wander or just listen to the roar of the Saale.

April 9, 2026,Von Saalthal-Alter nach Saalfeld zu den Feengrotten und mit einer Stadtbesichtigung

This tour had it all. It went a lot uphill, downhill! Without e-bikes, it would have been noticeably difficult for us to manage the tour.

September 20, 2023,Bergbauroute- Hohenwartestausee

Despite the relatively few HM, it's not an easy tour. 30 steps and at km 28.6 an incline that is not rideable (for me) despite the eMTB and constantly up and down. But very nice, for MTB. The condition of the Saale cycle path is poor in parts, including on inclines (always a longer route, to Kaulsdorf and to Breternitz), …

July 4, 2025,Rudolstadt 1: östlich von Saalfeld

From Saalfeld, away from the main roads, you'll reach the reservoir, then make a loop back to Rudolstadt.
Many signposted cycling routes lead uphill or downhill, sometimes on rough gravel. And there's always a "No Entry" sign; the "Open to Bicycles" sign seems to be unheard of here.

So, the new bicycle bridge in Kaulsdorf is probably still a long way off. Nevertheless, we like the section of the Saale Cycle Path from Kaulsdorf to Saalfeld.
