Right next to the Camburg swimming pool is a cozy seating area, perfect for a short break on the Saale Cycle Path. In summer, a small snack bar provides refreshments and snacks – ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to take a short break or recharge their batteries. Thanks to its quiet location on the edge of town and its proximity to the Saale River, this spot is a lovely stopover with a relaxed atmosphere – especially on warm days.
