Salt Road Cycle Path

The salt road used to connect the saltworks in the area, places where salt mining was carried out and which were at the same time large trading centers.
The path connects the Elster cycle path near Schkeuditz with the Harz circular route near Uftrungen.
The salt road cycle path in Saxony-Anhalt runs through the south of the state, from the state border to Saxony at the Elster cycle path near Schkeuditz via Merseburg to the Geiseltalsee, via Mücheln, Nebra (Wangen), the find spot of the Nebra sky disk, on the Mittelberg and through the Ziegelroda forest; further via Allstedt near Sangerhausen, Tilleda at the Kyffhäuser to Uftrungen on the Harz circular route.
The salt road crosses the Saale cycle path in Merseburg, the Unstrut cycle path at Karsdorf and Nebra, the Goethe cycle path at Weischütz and Burgscheidungen, and the Kyffhäuser circular route at Tilleda and Kelbra.

More info: From the 40th km of the tour, the salt road runs about 8 km through Mücheln. First, it runs from the cycle path through a tunnel that leads under the viaduct to the market, to the marina. Then you reach the landscape and castle park up to the Geisel spring, continuing in the direction of Albersroda.
