The historically rich small town of Kahla lies in the scenic middle part of the Saale Valley. It is dominated by the Leuchtenburg Castle, the "Queen of the Saale Valley," and the Dohlenstein, a dominant shell limestone slope whose present shape has been shaped by several rockfalls since 1780.

🏰 View of Leuchtenburg Castle from Dohlenstein – A panorama with a special charm 🌄✨ From Dohlenstein, you'll have an impressive view of Leuchtenburg Castle, which towers majestically above the landscape. The combination of the striking rock formation and the historic castle in the background makes this viewpoint something truly special. A perfect place to pause, enjoy the expanse, and perhaps take a few photos of this unique panorama. A real highlight of the tour, especially when visibility is good. 🏞️📸

Right next to the cycle path is the confluence of the Orla and Saale. There is a small hut with a table and two benches with space for about 6-8 cyclists (or hikers).
