The Reinstädter Grund is a dreamlike side valley, which opened to the east towards Kahla. For cyclists who come from above (from the west), only roll down on dreamy limestone mountains through small villages. You drive on partly on a small country road, and also on a good bike path.

below the trout ponds the Koppelgraben (that's the name of the stream and not of the valley) runs down into a deeply cut valley in cascades of small waterfalls.
