Saale River at Maua

Highlight • River

The Saale flows leisurely through the landscape near Maua. From the bridge you have a nice view and with a bit of luck you can wave to a few boaters.

Former Autobahn 4 Route in Leutratal Nature Reserve

Highlight • Structure

The former route of the motorway 4 between Schorba and Jena led right through the nature reserve in the Leutra valley. The bike / hiking trail runs to a large extent parallel to it and crosses the route at this point. From here you have a good overview of the (now deconstructed) track that nature is gradually recovering.

Saaleradweg With View of Johannisberg

Highlight • Cycleway

The Johannisberg is a prominent offshoot of the Wöllmisse, a shell limestone plateau east of Jena. The spur of land that drops steeply towards the Saale valley north of the Alt-Lobeda district bears the remains of two important fortifications from the late Bronze Age and the early Middle Ages. As a result of several archaeological excavations and finds being recovered since the 1870s, they are among the few structures from this period in Thuringia that have been examined.
