Saaleradweg With View of Johannisberg

Highlight • Cycleway

The Johannisberg is a prominent offshoot of the Wöllmisse, a shell limestone plateau east of Jena. The spur of land that drops steeply towards the Saale valley north of the Alt-Lobeda district bears the remains of two important fortifications from the late Bronze Age and the early Middle Ages. As a result of several archaeological excavations and finds being recovered since the 1870s, they are among the few structures from this period in Thuringia that have been examined.

Jena Paradise Park

Highlight • Rest Area

The paradise is criss-crossed by cycling and hiking trails, which are used very regularly. It is also a good place to relax for me, especially when I'm cycling across Jena. The fairy tale fountain is a highlight, just like the Südbad (Schleichersee) and the beach bar. Always beautiful! 😉

Wetland Pond in Jenaer Forst

Highlight • Lake

The ponds are renewed every 10 years if necessary, but unfortunately all the flora and fauna have to be removed. There is an artificial water-blocking layer under the gravel. This last happened in 2016/2017.
There are at least seven ponds spread over several hundred meters in the area.

Ernst Haeckel Memorial Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (born February 16, 1834 in Potsdam; † August 9, 1919 in Jena) was a German physician, zoologist, philosopher, draftsman and free thinker as well as a university professor in Jena, who followed the ideas of Charles Darwin from the 1860s a special theory of descent. Through his popular writings and lectures, he contributed greatly to the spread of Darwinism in Germany, which, unlike his teacher Rudolf Virchow and his opponent Emil Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, he wanted to see integrated into school lessons. In addition, he developed a detailed embryological argument for the theory of evolution and in this context formulated the basic biogenetic law.
