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

This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous spots for a cozy break, where you can let your gaze wander or simply listen to the rushing of the Saale.

New tires put on and off we went in the sunshine. Nice little bike ride along the Saale to Obernitz and back again. Lots of activity on the bike path today. But it was still fun.

Today I came out of the forest and the weather was nice. So I got on my bike and went for a little ride. It was cold but lovely to ride.
