The banks of the Saale near Remschütz offer idyllic spots right by the water and invite you to take a relaxing break. A lovely place to take a break during a hike or bike ride. There is also a cosy artist café nearby.

Right next to the cycle path is the confluence of the Orla and Saale. There is a small hut with a table and two benches with space for about 6-8 cyclists (or hikers).
