• Length: 190 km - Stages: 6
• Ascent: 846 m - Descent: 1.1.31 m
• Difficulty: easy
Enjoy a particularly beautiful nature experience: The Unstrut Cycle Route accompanies the Unstrut along its approx. 190 km course from its source in Eichsfeld to its confluence with the Saale near Naumburg. You cycle through two German federal states along this cycle route. Various tourist attractions along the Unstrut, such as the free imperial and Hanseatic town of Mühlhausen, the spa and rose town of Bad Langensalza or the moated castle of Heldrungen, offer you a beautiful view.

No. 2: Hainich National Park - The Red Route
• Length: 23 km
• Ascent: 457 m
• Descent: 198 m
• Technique / fitness level: medium-difficult
This is where history meets nature. The route connects Mühlhausen, the town of gates and churches, with the Hainich National Park on a well-maintained cycle path. Both the level of difficulty and the journey time depend on the direction in which you cycle the route. While a moderate to steep climb characterises the route coming from the direction of Mühlhausen, the route descends again from the national park in the direction of Mühlhausen.
