Sugar Railway Cycle Path

Short description
The Sugar Railway Cycle Path - a special cycling experience

Description
Scenically very charming, it leads on the old railway line from Zeitz to Stöben near Camburg. Shady sections alternate with open landscapes time and time again.
The Sugar Railway Cycle Path is the networker among cycle paths. In Zeitz, you can switch to the Elster Cycle Path and in Stöben near Camburg, you can connect to the Saale Cycle Path.

A section of the Saale-Unstrut-Elster Cycle Path runs on the Sugar Railway Cycle Path between Kretzschau and Osterfeld. This also provides a connection to the Unstrut Cycle Path.
Starting from Kretzschau, the RECARBO Coal Cycle Path, which also runs on the Saale-Unstrut-Elster Cycle Path, offers a connection to Mondsee, Hohenmölsen, and further to the Saale Cycle Path to Weißenfels.
In Osterfeld itself, you have the opportunity to indulge in gastronomy or, in good weather, take a detour to the Naturbad.
The advantage of this cycle path is obvious - its almost endless combination possibilities with other cycle paths.
By taking a detour from the Sugar Railway Cycle Path to Schkölen, you have the option to connect to the Renewable Energies bike route to the Saale Cycle Path in Würchhausen and to the Elster Cycle Path in Crossen. Furthermore, to Eisenberg on the popular Thuringian Mill Cycle Path and to Dorndorf on the Saale Cycle Path.
Of course, culture is not neglected either - because in Zeitz, Moritzburg Castle, the castle park, and the Herrmannschacht briquette factory are enticing. In Droyßig, there is a castle with a castle church and its own bear enclosure.
At 36 km, the Sugar Railway Cycle Path is not too long but impresses with "1000" possibilities for planning circular and linear routes.
The Sugar Railway Cycle Path is continuously asphalted and therefore suitable for bikes with narrow tires.
Multiple information boards (with a cycling map for orientation) and covered rest areas are located directly on the cycle path. Clear signposting with location and distance information along the cycle path.
The Sugar Railway Cycle Path is low-gradient, max. 3%.
