Rest area on the Orla Cycle Path in Langenorla

Highlight • Rest Area

On my popular "Saale-Orla-Tour" by bike starting in Jena via Kahla, Pößneck, Saalfeld and Rudolstadt back to Jena, this is always the first place where I take my break.

Scenic Path Along the Orla

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful route along the Orla River and train platforms. 😁 Especially not very busy, which surprised me, but oh well 🤷. All the more peaceful for cycling 🚴‍♀️.

Where the Orla flows into the Saale

The Orla is about 35 km long and flows into the Saale here at this well-maintained place.

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.

June 12, 2025,Einmal Neustadt/Orla und zurück mit Saale

Hello everyone,

Second round of the vacation 🤫.

By train to Orlamünde and then along the Orla River to Neustadt and back again. 😁 At times the route was incredibly strenuous, but doable.

The big surprise 🤨 came in Schöps towards Rothenstein. 😁 Beautiful conversion.

Best wishes
