The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

The renovation was successful. If you come from Jena you drive over and then up to the Dornburger castles. There is also a good view of the castles from the bridge.

September 4, 2021,Jena - Lützen - Sachsenbrücke Leipzig

A challenging tour from Jena to Leipzig.
First of all, we had transported climate tapes on the south-west route from Erfurt via Weimar and Jena.
From here the four of us continued along the beautiful Saale towards Leipzig.
A rest at the Kulkwitzer See is recommended.
Despite many diversions, inclines and numerous unplanned additional kilometers, we reached our destination on …

January 29, 2022,Jena Camburg Naumburg Weißenfels Leipzig 100er Radtour

That was a nice windsurfer bike tour today. I had serious concerns about driving the track in the windy weather. But it went better than expected and the whole route is much nicer than I expected.
Wonderful little places, beautiful castles, small streets and good bike paths. Highly recommended.
The passage through Naumberg was a bit wild because I followed …

September 19, 2025,14. Grünes Band Radtour, Leibzig-Jena

Two days in Leipzig were not enough to really explore this lively city. With mixed feelings, we wanted to move on this morning. Unfortunately, a flat tire and a coffee shop delayed our progress. When we finally set off, it was already pleasantly warm, which turned into a sweltering heat today. Once we reached the Saale Cycle Path, the cycle …

Good day,

Today we went back from Cottbus. The Spree Cycle Path electric-free cycling has come to an end.

The train ride went from CB to Leipzig. My electric-free buddy continued by train. I went out.

I have cycled Leipzig - Jena several times and each time with a variety of variations. So it's a familiar hat.

Exploring Leipzig on a long tour with a lot of luggage makes little sense. It is more fun to take extra time for this

August 17, 2024,🇩🇪 - Leipzig - Jena [Tag 1]

The first big ride with the new bike including bags and overnight stay. The import of the recording conceals our numerous and lovely breaks, so the pace is only 11 instead of almost 20. Tomorrow we'll go back via the Elster cycle path 😊

Day 2/15.
Part 1/3:
I thought there wouldn't be many highlights between Jena and Leipzig today, but I was wrong! Sorry for the many photos.
But let's start from the beginning:
Today was my first real day on the Saale, and I have to say that the Saale Cycle Path had a positive impact on me. The first highlight, besides …

July 4, 2024,Jena nach Leipzig

A much easier part of Saale - Elster radweg. Second time riding this I learned to avoid the climb at the castle and with the smooth wind in the back one can ride from fields of Jena through a smooth and almost flat landscape all the way to Leipzig.
