impressive, the tunnels on this route - but very cold in spring, certainly quite pleasant in summer.

The chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1314, in connection with a dispute between the Mühlhausen council and the Teutonic Order, which eventually gained control of the chapel. The originally planned basilica was realized as a hall church, but remained unfinished for a long time and was only partially completed and extensively renovated at the end of the 19th century. Some significant works of art have been preserved from the medieval furnishings, including figures and a triumphal cross. A figure of Saint Nicholas from around 1500 is particularly noteworthy. The church played an important role during the Reformation: Between 1523 and 1525, it turned to the Reformation early on. After an interim return to Catholicism, the Reformation was finally established in 1565.

The line itself is impressive. The second track was dismantled by the Russians in 1945 as reparations.

The asphalt is superb to ride on and a fantastic experience when you cycle through the tunnels. Perfect for road bikes – but be careful: When you change sides of the bike path, you have to cross the tracks! When it's hot, the tunnels offer a welcome cooling-off point.
