Leutratal

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Unfortunately, the path through the Leutratal is getting worse and worse. Lots of potholes, which are sometimes difficult to see due to poor visibility (light/shadow). Otherwise, the Leutratal is always beautiful.

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.
