directly at the cycle path alternative between Freienorla and Niederkrossen there is a flat course of the cycle path. At this point, it offers a good bottom-up view. (Upper town of Orlamünde with church and bower)

Where the Orla flows into the Saale

Highlight • River

After 35 kilometers, the Orla flows into the Saale here. A pretty spot that is also suitable for a break, thanks to the small hikers' hut.

The reason for the trip from Kahla to Schwarza was that my car needed to be taken to the garage in Kahla for a service. So I loaded my bike into the car and set off along the Saale Cycle Path to Schwarza. The weather was rainy and very stormy today. But it was still a great day.
