Café Orban

Highlight • Cafe

The owner is very friendly, the ice cream tastes good and so does a cyclist.

A very beautiful section of the route between Schleusingen and Suhl in a scenic setting along the Erle. In some places you can go straight from the gently sloping bank to the riverbed and cool off there if you need to.

Tony's Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Opportunity to rest and to get into the riverbed, as the bank slopes gently here and the stream is easy to walk on. If you want, you can cool off here when the weather is good.
Unfortunately, the graffiti thing is true, you see things like that far too often... what a pity.

St. Kilian Church and Ponds

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful little church, well worth a visit. A chapel, which bore the name of the Frankish apostle Kilian, was already in the early Middle Ages at the beginning of an old forest road that leads to Vesser. The first documentary mention was in 1187 with reference to a small church that was looked after by Veßra Monastery. Source: Wikipedia.

At this crossroads, which is very well signposted, you can choose different options to take your direction. Whether Stutenhaus, Breitenbach or Erlau. Everything is possible.

Karl Köhler Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path is named after district forester Karl Köhler in 1995-1992. At the end of the path, a kind of wooden cross reminds you of this. There is also a bench to look into parts of the Vessertal.
