Let's go! This tour lets you explore the Erfurt Cycle Ring in one go. Starting in Stotternheim, you'll head straight into the countryside, and the first few kilometers will help you forget the stresses of everyday life as you cycle across wide fields and gentle hills.
You'll first cycle through the Erfurt Lake District with its shimmering Alperstedt Lake, then through the flat countryside, passing villages like Großrudestedt and Kleinmölsen. With a bit of luck, you might even spot the rare black hamster.
In the Weimar region, half-timbered houses, historical monuments, and charming towns like Niederzimmern, Utzberg, and Klettbach invite you to take a short break. A detour to the Hohenfelden Reservoir is especially worthwhile! On your tour through the south of Erfurt, you'll encounter the Ilm district and the geographical center of Thuringia near Rockhausen – perfect spots for a short rest, perhaps along the Planet Trail or at the Kirchheim Public Observatory.

The journey began near the Erfurt airport with the "departure" and to be more precise, at the nearby signs towards "Elxleben". Passing horses and beautifully decorated Easter decorations in a bathtub, I quickly discovered the first Radring sign. My "runway" was …

I didn't take any pictures this time. If pictures are requested, I would be happy to do the tour again. (with those :) )
So that everyone can imitate the tour, the tour ends again at the Erfurt Zoopark.
