Linkenmühle Ferry

Highlight • Structure

Always fun to take the ferry, although a bridge wouldn't be bad either. The restaurant is also recommended.

Today we finally did the rest of the Saale cycle path 😊. Unfortunately we got going a bit late and moved the starting point from Blankenstein to Saaldorf. Then the motorway exit was closed and the starting point had to be Gräfenwarth😂, so the tour was significantly shortened, but not bad. I spent more time enjoying the beautiful panoramas along …
