Cycling is becoming more popular since the construction of quality cycle tracks began in the 1990s. For tourists, there are the "Weiße Elster track" and the "Thuringian city string track (Radweg Thüringer Städtekette)". Both connect points of tourist interest, the first along the White Elster valley from the Elster Mountains at the Czech border to Saale river in Halle and second from Eisenach via Erfurt, Weimar, Jena and Gera to Altenburg. For inner city every-day traffic, some cycle lanes exist along several main streets.
