Itinerary

You should come early to have enough time for sightseeing in the historic city of Eisenach. Famous persons like Johann Sebastian Bach or Martin Luther King have lived here. 

You follow the river Hörsel, afterwards you continue through the Thuringian basin. You reach Gotha in the early afternoon, so there is enough time for sightseeing.

In the morning you cycle to Wechmar which won an award for being the most beautiful village in Thuringia in 2003. This village is also well-known for its Bach museum. Afterwards you can admire castle Wachsenburg, castle Mühlburg and castle Gleichen on your way to Gera and Erfurt.

After today’s short stage you arrive in Weimar. Visit the palace, the museum, the theatre or the park. We are sure that you will not be bored today.

Tour character

The route is very well signposted and leads you along asphalted roads, bike paths, forest paths and trails. Every bike day has long flat routes as well as some hilly sections, only a few parts where you have to push the bike.

Unterbringung, Gepäcktransport, Betreuung gut bis sehr gut. Streckenhinweise (=TSK) z. T. verblasst; beim rechts Abbiegen war das Schild manchmal rechts, einmal sogar hinter anderem Schild verborgen.
Highlights: Eisenacher Bach-Museum mit Vorführungen; Erfurt: Dom, Museum "Alte Synagoge"; Weimar: Gothe-Häuser, Schiller-Museum. Im Haus "Wohngut" in Erfurt ist der Service spitze! Zur Streckenmarkierung: Sollte überprüft werden, da Schilder verblasst , manchmal verdeckt durch andere Streckenhinweise, manchmal erst 50m nach der Abbiegung oder für Richtung West-Ost auf falscher Seite und daher nicht einsehbar.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe, Ihre Reise zu bewerten - darüber freuen wir uns sehr. Auf der von Ihnen gebuchten Tour kleben wir die Strecke nicht selbst aus sondern für die allgemeinen Wegweiser/Schilder ist jede einzelne Gemeinde zuständig. Aber das Problem ist allgemein bekannt: je später in der Saison desto mehr verblassen die Ausschreibungen bzw. sind sie leider auch des Öfteren durch Laub verdeckt. Daran kann man leider gar nichts machen, am Besten radelt man mit GPX-Daten, die immer aktuell sind.
