Perfect for a break. There are several benches right by the former water tower.

A rewarding viewpoint with a view of the striking castle towers of Saaleck. Especially nice for a short stop to take in the landscape of the Saale valley. 📸

One of the special sights along the Eselradweg. The historic covered bridge over the Saale is a great photo opportunity and definitely worth a short stop. 🌉📸

Interesting model of the historic Kunitz covered bridge. A small but worthwhile stop before reaching the bridge itself. 🌉

Small historic train station and a nice stopover on the bike tour. A piece of railway history in the middle of the quiet countryside. 🚂🌿

Very narrow path on the cliff edge, but easily passable with a gravel bike. Enjoy this piece of untouched nature.
