Weimar based in one hotel

Weimar offers a worldwide unique historic tradition. Museums, memorial places, churches and an interesting history are reminding on the life of many well-known persons. The thousand-year-old city knows many big names as for example Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Wieland, Lucas Cranch, Johann Sebastian Bach and Franz Liszt. Today Weimar is a pulsating centre of art and science. Arrive early – Weimar is awaiting you with historic and culinary inner city.

Start your bike tour with a scenic stage through the „Weimarer Land“: you leave Weimar in a northerly direction on the Ilm bike path. There is always the opportunity to get off your bike and take a break in a shady park or a romantic castle mooring. Plan a little more time in the „Bell and Art City“ Apolda.

Following in the footsteps of the painter Feininger, today's tour takes you through Weimar and the Weimarer Land region. The tour begins in Weimar at the Bauhaus University, the building complex of the former Bauhaus, where Feininger taught from 1919 to 1925. The artist's first studio was located in the immediate vicinity. The next stop is the house in Gutenbergstraße, where Feininger lived with his family from 1919 to 1926. The tour continues into the Kirschbach valley and through the open countryside from village to village to the stone bridge in Oberweimar. From here, you can easily reach Weimar city centre through the Goethepark.

Pedalling lightly along the chain of towns, you reach the state capital Erfurt. The ‘Krämerbrücke’ awaits you and, at 120 metres and 32 houses, this bridge is the longest completely built-up and inhabited bridge street in Europe. Accompanied by charming ensembles of rich patrician houses and lovingly reconstructed half-timbered houses, towered over by the monumental ensemble of St Mary's Cathedral and the Severi Church. Small Thuringian villages with cosy inns invite you to sample the Thuringian cuisine and through the rural hinterland you reach your hotel in Weimar.

Today you cycle in the picturesque Ilm Valley: through Bad Berka with its Kneipp pool for the cyclists' calves, past the manor in München, via Kranichfeld with its two castles to Hohenfelden. This area is ideal for picnicking and swimming. Go by boat in the popular local recreation area and visit one of the numerous cafés and restaurants that invite you to take a leisurely rest. The Thuringian Open Air Museum is also worth a visit.

This stage takes you to the Buchenwald memorial, which is located on the Ettersberg high above Weimar. The strenuous climb is rewarded with sweeping views of the Thuringian Basin. A stage in beautiful surroundings that brings conflicting feelings.

After breakfast individual departure or additional nights. And we promised you that wherever your cycle tour takes you, you will be able to enjoy the good Thuringian cuisine and the warm Thuringian hospitality. We hope, of course, that you will be able to savour the Thuringian dumplings and the famous Thuringian Rostbratwurst sausage.
