Unstrut Valley Nature Reserve between Nägelstedt and Großvargula

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This pretty section of the route runs parallel and in parts very close to the Unstrut, which still flows in its original riverbed in several loops in this area. On the northern side, a former vineyard protects, the bank area is lined with pollarded willows and dense bank vegetation, which offers valuable protection for insects and birds in particular. 35 species of butterflies can be discovered in the nature reserve. In the middle of the section and on the outskirts of Großvargula there are several clean seating areas that invite you to linger. Here you should take a break. :-)

Gera River and the Arch Bridge at Gispersleben

Highlight • Bridge

Until 2015, here was the weir Gispersleben. With the project, a river loop was designed on the former power plant site, over which now the height difference is compensated.

Terrace Bank Erfurt

Highlight • Rest Area

This section leads through a beautifully designed area along the Wera River. Terraced seating provides a lovely recreational area that is definitely worth using or at least seeing.

Erfurt Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town is simply beautiful. No matter how often you stroll through the streets and alleys, you always find something new. My personal highlight is the Krämerbrücke.
