The boarding and alighting station was Bad Sulza- one of the few bicycle-friendly stations.
We had a nice break in the broom bar "Boy's Gutsausschank" in Unstruttal!

Today's tour started in Bad Sulza. The first stop was the castle in Eckardsberga, which is unfortunately closed. From there it went via Bad Bibra to Unstrut. Unfortunately, the castle in Burg cuttings is also not accessible, not even the outside area. We found a broom nearby. Along Unstrut, Saale and Ilm we went back to the starting point l.

Day 2, our tour, after a short night and early breakfast, we wanted to conquer the west route today. We had previously decided to take a locker at the Naumburg train station in order not to have to conquer the final ascent to the Euroville again. The weather had turned and the announced stiff breeze gave us a good tailwind …

After initial recording problems with komoot and navigation problems in Freyburg, it was a nice, demanding ride on paved bike paths, through woods and meadows and over some road.

I know we are fair-weather riders but it was totally worth it. What a brilliant tour that runs almost 90% along great cycle paths and offers lots of places to stop for a bite to eat. But pack some cash, everything along the route is incredibly expensive. A bottle of wine in the small wine taverns now costs €16 😳🍾 …

Beautiful bike tour, thanks to Harald and Marion who saved the tour for us. There were a few small changes, we cycled to Saaleck Castle, Rudelsburg, Eckartsburg and Neuenburg Castle. There were a few extra elevation changes. 😅
