    This route connects the Way to the Stone Age (WidS) with the long-distance cycling paths Unstrut Cycle Path and Unstrut-Werra Cycle Path. As a result, it features hardly any inclines. An ideal day trip inviting you to discover the region south of the Kyffhäuser Mountains. Nicely developed cycle paths are traveled here, and one or the other spot invites you to linger.

    A scenic highlight is the section through the Wipper breakthrough. But also the open landscapes on the Unstrut-Werra Cycle Path or along the Unstrut soothe the soul of every cyclist.

    Author’s recommendation

    Delicious chocolate, ice cream, or a piece of cake can be found at the Chocolaterie Oldisleben.
