Be careful where you drive - many roads lead through nature reserves and are closed.

The banks of the Saale near Remschütz offer idyllic spots right by the water and invite you to take a relaxing break. A lovely place to take a break during a hike or bike ride. There is also a cosy artist café nearby.
