Gera River and the Arch Bridge at Gispersleben

Highlight • Bridge

Until 2015, here was the weir Gispersleben. With the project, a river loop was designed on the former power plant site, over which now the height difference is compensated.

Terrace Bank Erfurt

Highlight • Rest Area

This section leads through a beautifully designed area along the Wera River. Terraced seating provides a lovely recreational area that is definitely worth using or at least seeing.

A tour that I've ridden a lot. Most impressive was the fact that cranes are still flying in the Haßleben area.
