The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

Carl Alexander Bridge

The renovation was successful. If you come from Jena you drive over and then up to the Dornburger castles. There is also a good view of the castles from the bridge.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A very nice, shady bike path between Weimar and Tiefurt. It's easy to cycle, but it's sometimes a bit crowded.

July 10, 2022,Ilmradweg 2 > Saaleradweg > Runde😅

First of all, it always turns out differently than you think secondly...😅

The finalization of the Ilmradweg was planned, i.e. the last piece from Weimar to the mouth of the Saale near Großheringen was still missing - mostly very nice paths, partly rough cobblestones, a lot to discover on the way🤩

Already among the planned tours for a long time. Today we finally rode in beautiful weather (except for the headwind for the last 40 km). If you want to go on a longer bike tour in Thuringia, I think this would be a good idea. Along the Ilm and Saale, the corresponding cycle paths are mainly on asphalt. There are …

Just move on the 2nd Advent. The alternative would have been to move stollen and other pastries from the plate to the mouth.
The sun was shining and we went aimlessly to the west.
About 1 to 3 degrees warmed up decently. Hardly any cyclists on the way. Well so what.

Good day,

Drive into the gray without knowing where to go.
To the Kötsch?
Support Gasthof Müllershausen financially again?

From Großschabhausen I changed my mind.
First to Weimar and then further into the gray.
It was heaven. The weather report was correct. And the chance of rain was also higher than anything else. Had more percent chance of raining than …

I came out of the Knick too late to pay a visit to Marc Chagall. And actually the weather was too nice to visit the museum.

The Südbad in Jena was open. Yay-hoo. Swimwear out :)

Enjoy the route and the headwind and be at the lighthouse on time.
Done and experienced a wonderful musical portrait of Jakob Bro. Wonderful …

March 22, 2026,Mühle Eberstedt ° IlmMündung/Saale ° Jena 🍦

Hello everyone! While there isn't much nature to see at the moment, there is plenty of landscape. And really varied landscape at that—almost like a surprise menu of scenery. The naturally cloudy, non-alcoholic Mönchshof beer was quickly earned. Not even an hour on the way, and my neighbor and I were already sitting on the terrace of the Mühle Eberstedt, …

Weekend conclusion: the probability of hailstones coming and completely destroying cars is increasing dramatically. Tiger mosquitoes have become native, as have giant ticks -> humans left Africa to be safe from the plagues that have been around since their existence, see maleria. Riding in storms is no longer possible because clouds have become twice as fast -> the harder the …
