Rest area at the Schweizerhaus on the Schwarza River

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to relax and linger. Opposite is the Swiss house. Unfortunately it is closed at the moment. Otherwise this house is a restaurant. The square also invites you to cool off in the Schwarza in summer.

August 22, 2024,🚴🏼‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Katzhütte -> Bad Blankenburg
From Bad Blankenburg we cycled to Katzhütte with one change of bike. We hadn't chosen and researched the route well enough, because the first 13km of the route we took was often a poorly navigable hiking trail. We had a lot to do and then we got lost and had to push our bikes up a long, steep path. From …

A parking space was quickly found in Bad Blankenburg, directly on the Schwarzara cycle path. Then we went upstream, mostly along the water, past steep slopes to the left and right.
