â ï¸ Riding the tour from Remschütz against the clockwise direction.
The approach on the Saale cycle path begins at the caravan parking lot next to the Saalfeld outdoor pool and is a relaxed warm-up via Remschütz to Volkstedt. Below the Kulm in Preilipp it gets serious for the first time. The small and short ramps on the way to Schillerhöhe with the beautiful view of Heidecksburg Castle are just the start of what follows next. After passing through the peacefully lying village of Zeigerheim, the long and steep ramp at Liske follows. The reward for the sweaty effort are trails with root passages at the Kessel and Gölitzwände with sensational views into the Thuringian mountains. At the Fröbel monument you reach a historically significant place. At this viewpoint, the wonderful term "kindergarten" was coined which has made its way into the world.
In the small village of Großgölitz the short detour has a reason. The detour takes us past the open-air exhibition of one of Germany’s most successful chainsaw artists. Florian Lindner likes to choose unusual motifs and his rapidly executed wooden sculptures strike with their wit and richness of detail.
In Bad Blankenburg, the detour to the Chrysopras weir on the Schwarza must not be missed. Towards the end of the tour it goes, sprinkled with small trail sections, to the confluence of the Schwarza into the Saale. This beautiful photo motif should not be missed. The circular tour ends in Remschütz. From there you go back on the Saale cycle path to the starting point of the tour.

Full suspension mountain bike is advisable, but not required. A bicycle helmet is part of the basic equipment as a matter of course. Cycling glasses and gloves are recommended. A small day backpack with some provisions and drinks can’t hurt.
â Bike recommendation from the professional: All routes can of course also be ridden with a modern and well-equipped e-mountain bike.
The route is not signposted.
Riding the tour is at your own risk.
Currently there is an increased risk due to dying trees in the forest.
Further information is available in the Thuringian Forest Act.
Trail tolerance: On large parts of the routes you will be traveling lonely and alone. Of course, there will be route sections or places where you will meet other nature lovers, whether hikers, riders or others. All user groups in the forest share the joy of being active outdoors. Therefore, a friendly and respectful approach to each other is a matter of course. As a mountain biker, you ride defensively when you meet others. A short stop and a friendly greeting contribute a lot to a good image of mountain bikers!
