Rundtour 5: Drei Burgen und drei Flüsse

In the triangle formed by the cities of Gotha, Erfurt, and Arnstadt, one of Thuringia's most charming landscapes awaits you. Explore it up close on this tour.

Starting in Erfurt's historic old town, you'll cycle through the region southwest of the city, framed by three rivers and boasting a particularly diverse landscape. The Gera River flows to the east, the Apfelstädt to the south, and the Nesse to the northwest. Almost like a natural river triangle, the cycle paths here combine to create a varied tour where you'll experience nature, culture, and history at every turn.

Always in view: Mühlburg Castle, Gleichen Castle, and Wachsenburg Fortress – together known as the Three Gleichen Castles. Each castle tells its own story; together, they form a backdrop steeped in history and legend. Alongside these, small villages, green meadows, and idyllic streams offer numerous picturesque spots for breaks. The perfect tour for those who want to experience more than just kilometers.
