Very nice building with a wonderful view of Burgk Castle from below. After the bridge turn left and you will get to the Jägersteig. Nice hiking trail.

Saale Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 43-meter-high tower is made of a steel and wood construction. The curved wood construction makes it architecturally interesting. You have to pay an entrance fee and climb 192 steps to get the great panoramic view. The Saale Tower is open until nightfall.

Bridge of Peace

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge as a means to an end, e.g. on the circuit around the Bleiloch (komoot.de/highlight/3556438), unfortunately a separate cycle path on the bridge was forgotten 🤣
