A tourist highlight is the 14 km long Oberland bike route. The motto here is: From the Schleizer Triangle to the Thuringian Sea.
On the former railway line between Schleiz and Saalburg, a perfectly asphalted bike path was created in 2010. And this bike path is different. The curves are never too tight and the route is dam-like reinforced. Like on a viewing platform, you float through meadows and forests. Magnificent views allow a unique sight of the fjord-like landscape of the Thuringian Sea located in the valley.
The Oberland bike route starts at the Red Bridge in Schleiz and ends with a spectacular view over Germany's largest reservoir in Saalburg. The bike path is suitable for numerous activities. It invites hiking, jogging, inline skating or walking. The Oberland bike route is a part of the Euregio-Egrensis long-distance cycle route from Bavaria via Thuringia and Saxony to Bohemia. One of the most scenic and varied river bike routes in Germany, the Saale bike path, can also be ridden from the Burgk Saale junction downriver or towards Saalburg.
