Another highlight along the way. The air is unfortunately not very good, but the enormous Kali mountains are very impressive. One town further on, you can even climb Monte Kali.

This cycle path leads directly along the Werra on the Werra cycle path between Philippsthal and Harnrode. The cycle path is easy to ride and offers many beautiful views, e.g. of the Kaliberge.
