It's easily navigable by bicycle, even when encountering pedestrians. However, the path is still not suitable for racing bikes.

Cycling along the Saale river is absolutely beautiful; the entire route is paved and flat :)

The Bismarck Tower is a beautiful landmark, but unfortunately it's not open to the public. The tower has been undergoing renovations for quite some time. There's a park surrounding it with a lovely children's playground.

The tower is unfortunately inaccessible and fenced off. Very disappointing ☹️
