CYCLING THROUGH THE WEIMARER L AND REGION Cycling is steadily gaining in popularity. For spur-of-the-moment cyclists, bicycles can be hired from the tourist information offices in Bad Sulza, Bad Berka and Kranichfeld. Ilm Valley Cycle Route Nature, history and culture – a veritable feast of things to see and do: The 125 km Ilm Valley Cycle Route follows the blue ribbon of the river Ilm from its source in the Thuringian Forest, through Stützerbach, right up to its confluence with the river Saale near Kaatschen-Weichau. The trail goes through small villages with enchanting churches and past manor houses, castles, museums and mills, each crying out to be visited. Many of the route's attractions in Weimar, home of classicism, are listed as UNESCO world heritage sites. Each section of the route has its own particular charms - and even its own particular climate. Cyclists should be sure of planning enough breaks not only for rest but for interesting discoveries! www.ilmtal-radwanderweg.de Laura Cycle Trail The 46 km Laura Cycle Trail completes the link between the Ilm Valley Cycle Route near Weimar and the Unstrut Cycle Route near Sömmerda. Tracing the route of Laura, the former narrow-gauge railway, this is a mellow and welcoming swathe of countryside. Far from mass tourism, all the gems survive, tucked away in this idyllic region: the rural customs, age-old village churches, half-timbered farmsteads, windmills on the edge of town, ancient linden trees, and woad stones. Other must-sees include the Thuringian Dumpling Museum in Heichelheim, Ordensburg Castle in Liebstedt, the "Tirica" theme park, and Leutenthal's "Mechanika da Vinci" exhibition. www.lauraradweg.de Feininger Cycle Trail This 0 km cycle trail gives you the chance to retrace Lyonel Feininger's progress around the Weimarer Land region, whilst getting to know some of his favourite motifs and admiring a host of unmissable cultural landmarks. Feininger himself was a keen cyclist and always took his pencil and sketchpad whenever he ventured out. Explore at your leisure the charming villages to the south of Weimar within the Middle Ilm Valley conservation area – a favourite haunt of Feininger´s between 1906 and 197. Attractive glass display panels at each stopping point show a Feininger painting of a particular church, with a grandstand view of the radiant original. You are, after all, in Feininger country! www.im-weimarer-land.de Towns of Thuringia Cycle Route The cycle route extends right across the "Free State of Thuringia", linking seven of the region's prettiest towns between Eisenach and Altenburg.

Historical ancient town centres, parks and gardens, museums and much, much more: you are sure to have a varied set of experiences as you retrace the paths of German Leviathans of the arts. www.thueringer-staedte.de 20 S I G H T S I N W E I M A R E R L A N D : C Y C L I N G B A D B E R K A
