Ilm Valley Cycle Path between Tannroda and Munich

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's a good thing this section isn't paved, so the beautiful scenery isn't lost. Occasionally, a tree will be across the path; watch out for this, especially at night, and drive carefully.

A dream to ride here. You have a direct view of the river and, during the hot season, the shade of the trees. What more could you want?

Limestone Cliffs near Kranichfeld

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful small section of the cycle path along the limestone cliffs. You feel a bit like you're in Saxon Switzerland. The short stretch is therefore interesting, varied and a certain eye-catcher.

September 12, 2022,🏞 Ilmtalradweg - Bad Berka-Stadtilm + München 😉🌤

A very nice piece of the Ilmtalradweg. Lots of nature with great views that you 📷 unfortunately can't capture like that. A small detour to the Rittergut München with farm shop, café and petting zoo 🐐🦙 is worth it. For us mainly because of ☕️🍰😋. The weather also played along today. No worried looks at the sky needed.

This stretch also runs extremely quietly through nature, the path accompanies rapeseed fields and fruit plantations. After the village of Buchfart, the path goes unexpectedly very steeply uphill (Kommot means about 15%). You shouldn't plan your arrival in Weimar too late, because there is …

July 5, 2025,Fahrradtour 🍦-Essen

In beautiful 🚲 weather, we set off from Bad Berka toward Kranichfeld to try out the new "La Casa del Gelado," something we'd been wanting to try for a long time. Along the way, we considered starting our 🍦 test in Stadtilm, but had to forego it due to time constraints☹️. We rolled leisurely into Kranichfeld, which🍦 was very good. …
