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.

A beautiful tour along the cycle path through the Saale Valley. You're mostly off the road, but the road is better on the last stretch just before Camburg. Also, part of the road (Dorburg Castles) is currently closed, so traffic is quite light.
You have a beautiful view of the Kunitzburg and the Dornburg Castles. You also pass Camburg Castle.
