Great for speed gravel riding, almost always straight ahead. Anyone wanting to cross the canal should pay close attention, as often only emergency stairs lead up to the bridge, or sometimes you can branch off onto a parallel path well before. Caution: The path often glittered green, as if there were shards of glass or plastic among the stones.

Idyllic place with a view over the Ilmenau. The pavilion is probably only rarely used for singing and could do with a renovation.
