Day 1: Arrival to Erfurt
Erfurt is the capital city of the state of Thuringia (Thüringen) located in the "green heart of Germany". The first documentary reference to Erfurt dates back to 742 AD, since which time the city has grown from being a small but thriving centre for commerce at the intersection of medieval trading routes to become an important commercial centre. Erfurt also has a fine university and the city’s cultural, intellectual and economic dominance drew great personalities such as Luther (Augustinian Monastery), Adam Ries, Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Wieland, Bach (Kaufmannskirche, (Merchants’ Church) the church where J. S. Bach’s parents were married), W. v. Humboldt, Zsar Alexander and Napoleon (Kaisersaal, Staatskanzlei (Chancellery)).a
Overnight in Erfurt.
Day 2: Erfurt – Weimar (13 miles/22 km)
Leave Erfurt via Krämerbrücke. Quite unique in Europe is 120 m long bridge with 32 houses sitting on it. This fact makes it the longest populated bridge-road of Erfurt. Wealthy patrician houses and lovingly maintained half timbered houses form a charming ensemble. All this is dominated by the monumental Mariendom and Severi church. Say farewell to Erfurt and embrace a completely different scenario: little villages with cosy beer gardens entice the cyclist to try out various delicacies of the local cuisine. Through farm country you cycle on the „Thüringer Städteradweg to Weimar – the true centre of Germany’s Classic. So many great names are connected to Weimar: Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Wieland, Lucas Cranach, Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt. Museums and monuments remember the past great times. Today Weimar is a pulsating centre of arts and science.a
Overnight in Weimar.
Day 3: Weimar round-trip, by train to Jena (38 miles/62 km)
Follow the footsteps of poets and philosophy. A short train transfer to Jena should be followed by a sightseeing tour of this university town. Many a celebrity lectured at the university, which was founded in 1558. Goethe was one of the supporters and Schiller lectured here. Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss worked on their epoch-making discoveries on optics and Jena also possesses the oldest planetarium of the world. Continue on Saale-river cycle path through varied and geologically interesting country. Past fortresses, castles, churches and historic mills you go. Cycle along the river through the wine-grower area of Thuringia. On quiet minor roads and asphalted cycle paths you change to Ilm valley cycle path right into the heart of Thuringia. Places as Apolda, Bad Sulza or Domburg have preserved their unique character. Take your time to visit the pulsating centres.
Overnight in Weimar.
Day 4: Weimar – Arnstadt (37 miles/60 km)
Along Ilm valley cycle path you pedal along until you reach Thüringer Forest. Rest at the reservoir Hohefelden, have a picnic lunch and a swim. Continue on the cycle path “Städteradweg” to Arnstadt with an historic old town and lovely atmosphere.
Overnight in Arnstadt.
Day 5: Arnstadt – Eisenach (41 miles/65 km)
Like pearls on a string are the four main cities of Thuringia: Gotha, Erfurt, Weimar and Jena. The last cycle day follows the City cycle path, slightly undulating back to Eisenach. The dominating building of Gotha is the intimidating castle Friedenstein, the largest early baroque castle of Germany. The oldest baroque theatre of Europe can be found in the west tower. The Ekhof Theatre prides itself with completely conserved stage mechanics from the year 1681. The castle museum exhibits a substantial collection of porcelain and a picture gallery. Further the art collection of the Dukes of Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha. A further attraction of the historic old town is a beautiful ensemble of town houses around the main market square and the historic town hall, which you should not miss out. Cycle along sunflower fields, through shady forests and idyllic villages. As promised before – wherever you go, Thuringia’s cuisine and hospitality are there. Do not miss the famous dumplings and sausages.
Overnight in Eisenach.
Day 6: Eisenach – Mühlhausen (41 miles/67 km)
The first day you follow Werra-Cycle path. Along the river you cycle through varied nature: idyllic river meadows, forests and cultural heritage. The stage starts with the wild and idyllic Werra breakthrough – a region with an exceptional variety of orchids. Intimidating fortress Normannstein towers over Trettfurt and then you continue relaxed to Mühlhausen, the city of gates and churches. The 59 spires and the fortification wall were name giving to Mulhusia Turrita. The manifold architecture, the overall layout of the town with completely conserved city wall (accessible) offer testimony of the once wealthy imperial city.
Overnight in Mühlhausen.
Day 7: Mühlhausen – Erfurt (40-48 miles/65-78 km)
Today you cross the centre of Germany by way of the nature park Hainich and then proceed on a shortcut ot Unstrut. Long Option: Stop at nature park Hainich, walk the “Tree Top Route” and enjoy the views on top of a beech wood across the Thüringer Becken (a large plain). Both options join again and then you continue to Bad Langensalza with almost completely conserved city wall as well as townhouses and guild houses from the 8th century. This place truly is a historic gem. Visit the singular rose garden, botanical garden and Japanese garden. Via Unstrut cycle path you reach your days destination Erfurt, capital of Thuringia. This city has been shaped by one of Germany’s best maintained medieval old town.
