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.

Ilm Valley Viaduct (Stadtilm Viaduct)

Highlight • Bridge

The Ilm Viaduct (or Stadtilm Viaduct or Ilm Valley Viaduct) is a single-track railway bridge on the Arnstadt–Saalfeld railway line between kilometers 15.064 and 15.264. It spans the Ilm and the federal highway 87 in Stadtilm, Thuringia. Viaducts, very often built with bricks, are gigantic masterpieces of architecture. The Göltzsch Valley Bridge in the Vogtland district of Saxony is the largest brick bridge in the world and also a masterpiece. This one is of course a little smaller, but no less interesting.

Ilmtal Cycle Path: Pathway Along the Ilm

Highlight • Cycleway

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.

Ponds and Rest Hut Tannroda

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This hut is located right next to the ponds of Tannroda and invites you to take a break. Eat with a view of the water from the front row. What more do you need, sit down, relax and enjoy nature at its best.

Today we went to Kranichfeld with the ADFC.
There's always a big party at the Baumbachhaus on May 1st. And since I was already nearby, we continued on to the 3-Towers Trail. The Hainturm is a bit small - view = zero (unless you like looking at treetops)...
From the Hainturm we went to the Paulinenturm and the Carolinenturm

Today we went on a 2-day tour on the Ilmtal cycle path. The Ilmtal cycle path is a 123 km long cycle path along the Ilm. The Ilm rises near Allzunah on the Rennsteig and flows into the Saale near Großheringen. Our bike tour started in Ilmenau. There we parked the car near the swimming pool. It had just stopped …

Of course, 830m elevation gain isn't accurate at all; it wasn't a mountain hike. In Kleinhettstett, Komoot got confused. Komoot and the "hm" don't go together. My speedometer says 330m elevation gain, and that's about right.

Today after a proper breakfast 😊 we went from Ilmenau to Weimar.
On the Ilm cycle path, it's easy to cycle along the river, to ripe grain fields and through shady forests and there was a lot to see. I had a flat tire 20km before the finish, but the women themselves changed the tube and put the bike back …

From Neukieritzsch to Ilmenau by train. 🚂 🚃 🚃 🚃
As expected, the train journey to the destination was not problem-free. 😢
We got on the train in Neukieritzsch and couldn't go any further, due to a technical defect. 🤔 We stood in Neukieritzsch for about 20 minutes. Of course we didn't get the connecting train in Leipzig. So we …

This bike path (Ilmenau-Apolda) is my new reference. Remarkably, it often runs directly along the river and carries a refreshing mountain stream cold with it. Handling is definitely about doing it here.
This section connects the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Thuringian Forest with the UNESCO World Heritage Site Weimar. nature & culture.

May 27, 2023,Ilmradweg - Von Ilmenau nach Weimar

The Ilmradweg from Ilmenau to Weimar is a really beautiful cycle path with pure nature. On day 1 we drove to Weimar and the next day back to Ilmenau, since the cars were parked there.
