    Es gab tatsächlich einige schöne Gärten zu besichtigen. Zwei Abschnitte der Route (gleich zu Beginn (Stolzenberg Waldstück Richtung Beerwalde und Gera Waldweg Richtung „Am Zaufensgraben“) sind mit normalem Rad kaum zu befahren. Da braucht es schon ein stabiles MTB oder Treckingrad mit fetten Reifen. Die „Neue Landschaft Ronneburg“ ist ein Highlight der Route. Reichlich Rastmöglichkeiten sind an der Strecke. Also Proviant einpacken! Gastro ist so gut wie nicht vorhanden.
