Tour zur Kur

One of my favorite tours, I've done it many times... Start in Naila and follow the well-signposted tour on the railway line cycle path up to Schwarzenbach am Wald. A short stretch of road past Straßdorf, then a turnoff into the forest. A bit of a stupid gravel road at the moment, but still a wonderful stretch of forest. After Lippertsgrün, a short detour to the field cross with a beautiful view of the Döbraberg and the route already covered. Descent through the idyllic Froschbachtal to Thierbach and via Schafhof to Bad Steben. A short cycling break in Steem, and then, refreshed, via Lichtenberg and Höllental back to the starting point at Naila station. A beautiful, varied circuit with lots of views!

One of my favorite laps... We started in Naila at the train station. On the Bahntrassenradweg we went on the HO12/ tour to the cure to Schwarzenbach/Wald, from there via Lippertsgrün through the beautiful Froschbachtal to Bobengrün. The Pentecost camp of the YMCA is currently taking place there, a traditional Christian camp. There was really something going on.... In Bad Steben we leave the Kurtour and cycle along the cycle path to Lichtenberg, where we make a small detour to the castle ruins. Great views over the Saale/Muschwitz/Selbitztal. Fast descent to Blechschmiedenhammer and through the Höllental and along the Selbitztalradweg back to the starting point at Naila station. A really nice round with a lot of views of the beautiful landscape.

I used yesterday's VGN day ticket + (plus) for today, but today I cycled to Naila and from Naila train station onto the bike path towards Schwarzenbach/Wald. The route follows the former railway line, past the quarry (the newly designed Naila Geo-trail also passes here). The tour is quite varied, sometimes through the cool, refreshing forest, sometimes past flower-filled meadows with panoramic views. In Bad Steben, I decided to take the Höllerstraße (car-free) and return to Naila via Marxgrün.
