8. Tour - über den Fuchsturm nach Schöngleina
A cycling route starting in Jena, Thuringia, Germany.
Overview
About this route
- Start at the market square in Jena's city centre
- steep ascent on paved roads up to the Wilhelmshöhe inn (Burgweg 75) km 2.26
- further steep climb from there on normal hiking trails up to the local mountain. Two options: either via the yellow route on the south side of the mountain – with many stairs, steps and tight hairpins (hardly possible to cycle uphill here – better to push), but with a nice view into the Ziegehain valley; or the blue route on the north slope without steps, through beech forest, with no view into the valley in summer and over to the Jenzig. Both routes reunite again at the Fuchsturm.
- from here it gets easier, as the route has already reached the highest point. km 2.6
- past the Fuchsturm (medieval bergfried of one of the three local hill castles, inn with a cosy beer garden) km 3.54
- from the Fuchsturm again paved road up to the Steinkreuz km 5.5
- in between, a small detour through the forest to the valley edge with a nice view over the Ziegehain valley with 2 benches for resting (approx. 150m after the Fuchsturm turn right into the forest)
- here the official campfire site of the city of Jena with BBQ facilities
- from here you could also return down to Jena directly via the wooden path through Ziegenhain
- continue on compacted forest trails to the Luftschiff (former excursion inn, closed for years) km 7.8
- after around 11km we reach the back of the Schöngleina airfield
- opportunity to stop after 12.7km at the airfield restaurant
- then continue on paved road down to Schöngleina km 14.2
- then down into the valley to Lotschen
- continue through Schlöben and Gröben down to the A4
- on a field path towards Jena parallel to the motorway up to the Fairhotel and thus the urban area of Jena
- through the prefabricated housing estate Lobeda after 30km we reach the rest opportunity at the beer garden by the weir in Burgau
- after about 35km we are back in the city centre
