This section offers you a great view of the Leuchtenburg castle - one of many historic buildings that you pass on the Saale cycle path.

A detour is definitely worth it, because here you can marvel at the largest porcelain vase and the smallest teapot in the world and - quite unusually - visit a porcelain church.

Saale River at Maua

Highlight • River

The Saale flows leisurely through the landscape near Maua. From the bridge you have a nice view and with a bit of luck you can wave to a few boaters.

Forest path by the paper mill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Historic Paper Mill Zeitzgrund

Highlight • Historical Site

Recently, the local family has opened a small snack. Although there is no advertising for it but the Lord of the court invited for coffee and was visibly and rightly proud of his estate. A visit to the paper mill is worthwhile. And sure, every week it will look different, as it is being expanded

June 24, 2023,Tour 1 Von Weißen zur Froschmühle

We drove to Jena on the Saale bike path. Then it went to the Thuringian woodland through the Zeitzgrund and the Mühltal. We stayed at the youth hostel Froschmühle.
At the beginning of the Zeitzgrund we had to take a not so nice detour via the main road due to a construction site.
