Peter
August 20, 2026, Confluence of the Orla and Saale Rivers

On the Saaleradweg near Orlamünde and Freienorla, you pass the confluence of the small Orla river into the Saale. There is a covered rest stop and a bench to linger.

The Dohlenstein rock formation dominates the cityscape and obscures the castle. Great view from up there!

The fountain looks old, but it isn't: it dates from the early 2000s. It's nicely situated in the market square.

The market fountain, featuring the bronze statue of "Saint Margaret," was erected in 2002. It was modeled on a fountain from 1463 that served to supply the town with fresh water. Originally, both the pipes and the fountain itself were made of wood. In 1844, the pipes were replaced with stone and iron ones. Continuing an old tradition, the Market Fountain Festival is celebrated on October 2nd and 3rd. https://www.thueringen.info/marktbrunnen-kahla.html
