Tannhäuser cycle path
The Tannhäuser cycle path is a cycle path in the Wartburg district in Thuringia . It connects the Hörselberge with the Rennsteig and Werra Valley .
concept
The Tannhäuser Cycle Route was named after the "Wartburg-Tannhäuserland" tourist region founded in 1995 . This, in turn, is reminiscent of the two Thuringian legends: The Singers' War on the Wartburg and the Tannhäuser legend . This also offers a direct reference to the legendary Venus Cave on the Great Hörselberg .
The cycle path complements the existing cycle paths in the Wartburg district as a north-south stretch. The relatively short route is already advertised as a cycling event - "Tannhäuser Radjagd" - and complements similar activities of the Pummpälzverein.
Labelling
The cycle route is signposted with the logo shown (in August 2011, however, only about 25% of the route was marked). The logo represents a green walking stick that Ritter Tannhäuser was able to present to the summoned Pope as a judgment of God .
Route
The total length of this cycle path is 26.6 km - there is a difference in altitude of about 325 meters. When a route and a near-natural history has been sought, only about 30 percent of the distance immediately lead to major streets, this relates to the northern portion of wutha-farnroda to Ruhla , also, the existing sections of the Ruhlaer cycling network on the route of the former Ruhlaer railway with included.
