Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.

Comments

September 17, 2023,Talsperre Hohenwarte

Today a few meters of altitude were collected around the Hohenwarte dam.
With a little practice, the paths were easy to ride, even for touring cyclists, although they were very strenuous.
Only the natural staircase with around 20 steps had to be pushed or carried.
There is a narrow track next to the stairs that can be used for pushing.
