Nice place for a short stop at the Unstrut. If you follow the bike path towards Thamsbrück, you will find the best ice cream parlor in the area!

July 22, 2025,Radweg am Riedsgraben – Rastplatz bei Großvargula Runde von Bad Langensalza

We started in Bad Langensalza, then took a paved path along the Riedgraben ravine. We then continued through what felt like untouched nature, with ancient apple trees along the way. Then a short loop in Großvargula and back again. It was a great tour, highly recommended.
