Right next to the cycle path is the confluence of the Orla and Saale. There is a small hut with a table and two benches with space for about 6-8 cyclists (or hikers).

This section offers you a great view of the Leuchtenburg castle - one of many historic buildings that you pass on the Saale cycle path. A detour is definitely worth it, because here you can marvel at the largest porcelain vase and the smallest teapot in the world and - quite unusually - visit a porcelain church. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkFKAUUc8PI

If you consider how the castles are lined up along the Saale and are aware of their history, this view of the Leuchtenburg is simply beautiful to look at and an indication that you are approaching Kahla. 😁 At least that's how it is for me. The view up works.
