Starting from Saalfeld, the route initially follows the Saale towards the Remschützer Sandberge - sand and sandstone were mined here in the 19th and 20th centuries. From there, it continues through the Grauwinkeltal and the Uhlstädter Heide towards Weißenbach. Across the Pfaffensteig, a wonderful 1.5 km long single trail, you reach the village of Weißenbach in the Teufelsgrund. Past the idyllic church comes soon after the Weissenburg Castle with beer garden and then the Rafting Museum. Here you can discover a lot of interesting facts about the history and technology of rafting on the Saale. The route then continues on lightly trafficked paved roads through Partschefeld and Kleinkochberg to the Luisenturm with a unique panoramic view over the region. The next highlight of the route is the Watercastle and Liebhabertheater Kochberg - it was once the country seat of Goethe's beloved Frau von Stein. Through a picturesque valley, past the romantic Weitersdorf chapel, it continues via Teichweiden to Rudolstadt. Here lies another highlight of the route - the Heidecksburg. A tour through the baroque castle and a view over the city are worthwhile. Via one of the castle entrances, the route leads towards the marketplace and town hall. Then follows the attractive Heinrich-Heine-Park and the open-air museum "Thuringian Farmhouses". Along the Saale, the route finally leads back to the starting point.
Saalfeld - Weißen - Uhlstädt - Luisenturm - Großkochberg - Saalfeld
A full-suspension mountain bike is sensible but not a requirement. A bicycle helmet is part of the basic equipment, of course. Cycling glasses and gloves are recommended. A small day backpack with some provisions and drinks can’t hurt.
â Bike recommendation: All routes are, of course, also rideable with a modern and well-equipped e-mountain bike.
The route is not signposted.
Riding the route is at your own risk.
There is currently an increased risk in the forest due to dying trees.
Further information can be found in the Thuringian Forest Law.
Trail tolerance: On large parts of the route you will be alone and lonely. Of course, there will also be path sections or places where you will meet other nature lovers, whether hikers, riders, or others. All user groups in the forest share the joy of outdoor activity. Therefore, a friendly and respectful interaction is a matter of course. As a mountain biker, you ride defensively when you meet others. A brief stop and a friendly greeting goes a long way for a good image of mountain bikers!
