Where the Orla flows into the Saale

Highlight • River

After 35 kilometers, the Orla flows into the Saale here. A pretty spot that is also suitable for a break, thanks to the small hikers' hut.

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 🚴‍♀️.
