Göritzmühle Weir

Highlight • Structure

Nice play opportunity for children. Maybe with bathing shoes.
Others also go with hiking boots and gaiters (komoot.de/tour/897261757?ref=atd)
along the Schwarza.

Saale River at Saalfeld

Highlight • River

The Saale is always an eye-catcher. Most of it is simply beautiful in its natural state.

Carl Zeiss Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The construction work is ongoing. It's best to take the detour straight away and then back onto the Saale cycle path at the Pioneer Bridge.

A very nice experience that I can only recommend. If you want to go mountain biking "differently", this is the place for you. 👍🏻😎

Saale Meadows

Highlight • River

Directly at the stadium Saalfeld is a nice place for barbecues or for a campfire. In addition, you have a nice view of the place where a branch of the Saale, the pool, branches off.

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.
