Very nice events are always held at this place. Bird shooting is the highlight of the year. You can also use the space for parking. It's even free and the city center is not far away.

Saale River at Maua

Highlight • River

The Saale flows leisurely through the landscape near Maua. From the bridge you have a nice view and with a bit of luck you can wave to a few boaters.

Cycling through Jena is really fun, there is a bike path right through the city without having to share a road with cars.

June 6, 2026,Saaleradweg Tag 1: Saalfeld - Jena 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🌤️

The cycle path is mostly asphalted, nicely varied through forests, meadows, fields and small villages, generally downhill, but also a few smaller humps which are considerably more strenuous with luggage.
We crossed the Saale and the parallel railway line countless times and sometimes a train also passed by. It was immediately pleasantly noticeable that the barrier was only closed for …

April 24, 2023,Saalfeld nach Jena

Right next to Saalfeld we followed the Saale cycle path D11 to Jena. This was well signposted and this section was absolutely "easy", which meant that we arrived in Jena earlier than planned.

The route took us through scenic areas along the Saale, but also through industrial areas such as Schwarza. There we noticed the many pipes, which probably come …

August 28, 2021,Der Saaleradweg – 9 Etappen von der Elbe an die Quelle - Tag 5 - Von Jena nach Saalfeld

Today Petrus left us in the lurch, but our rainwear keeps what it promises and you don't hear the children complain when wrapped twice. It went over nicely developed back roads and bike paths. The forest paths were partly quite muddy due to the weather. Also completely flooded in places. As before, we will pass great castles and parks again. …

The fifth stage is flat and well developed, it rolls along as if by itself. Tired legs will be happy 😌 It goes through the Saale valley, which rises to the left and right and you only climb it once at the Weissenburg. At the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view. Conclusion: Great stage!
