March 13, 2026, Elster Cycle Path Between Wünschendorf and Gera

Besides cycling, a short hike on the Elsterperlenweg trail is also recommended. Sure-footedness is required.

The Meuschkensmühle is a lovingly restored mill in the heart of the Mühltal valley, surrounded by forest, water, and hiking trails. Once a working mill, it is now a cozy destination with a restaurant, petting zoo, and riding stables.

The Lummersche Backhaus consists of the restaurant in the building and the bridge café on the Untermhäuser Bridge. You can sit and enjoy your meal in the historic building or on the bridge.

Built by the Gera beautification society in 1897. Unfortunately, now only a lost place.
