Asphalt Cycle Path to Jena

Highlight • Cycleway

Super smooth asphalt. However, towards the Mühltal towards Jena there is still a gravel section, in the Mühltal there is again a very good paved bike path separated from the B7.

Cycle Path Between Lehnstedt and Kleinschwabhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In 2021, not only the district road between Lehnstedt and Kleinschwabhausen is to be renovated. A new cycle path will then also be built between the two villages and close the last gap in the chain of cities between Weimar and Jena. The costs for this section are estimated at around 700,000 euros.

Goethe's Garden House

Highlight • Historical Site

Goethe's garden house in the park on the Ilm River near Weimar was the poet's first residence in Weimar. Here you can see original furnishings from all phases of Goethe's life. Particularly impressive are the poet's standing desk with its stool and the garden he designed. Unfortunately, access to the building and garden is restricted.
