Here you can admire many handcrafted wooden sculptures. There's also a dreamy bike path along the Unstrut River.

A very large construction project for the Mühlhausen bypass will take place near Mühlhausen, Thuringia, in 2024 as part of the construction of the new B247. The earthworks were carried out with very impressive machines and enormous earth movements.

Our first destination is the watercress spring north of the municipality of Reiser in the Unstrut-Bogen. This is rather less known, the spring pot is largely left in its natural state. In this way the fauna habitat is disturbed the least. Seating invites you to linger. The elongated water basin drains into the Unstrut. (Source: http://www.hk-dd.de)

At this point there is a meter-high railway bridge above the Unstrut, which blends picturesquely into the landscape. A place to enjoy on the Barbarossaweg.
