Today there was a flat exploration round in the Unstruttal with another 5 participants. Nature in the Unstruttal is still sleeping for a while. However, we discovered the Adonis florets on the sunny side. It was also the intention of our hike to keep an eye out for the Adonis florets.
The snack bar and grill at Unstruttal is currently …

This morning I decided to go to Nägelstädt on a whim, just to stretch my legs in the Unstrut Valley.

On the side of the cycle path I wanted to go downstream and on the other side, which was unknown to me until then, I wanted to go back.

January 7, 2023,Unstruttal - zwischen Nägelstedt und Großvagula

At Stefan P's suggestion, we hiked today from Nagelstedt to Großvagula through the Untstuttales nature reserve. This hike is certainly recommended at any time of the year and is characterized by a wonderful landscape.

After Großvagula we always hiked close to the Unstrut. We were particularly impressed by the many fresh beaver tracks and the old gnarled willows. Unfortunately we …

A hike through the Unstrut valley via Großvargula with its rustic & bony pastures and a short visit to the Lohmühle with some interesting information about generating energy using the water wheel.
The early bloomers are also represented in the Unstruttal. Adonis can be seen increasingly on the slopes in the valley. Unfortunately, the flowers have been badly damaged by …

This sheltered part of the Unstrut Valley is steep and cut deep into the gently undulating landscape. Here the Unstrut, which still has a largely natural river bed in this area, flows through the valley in several loops. Steep banks with drops, calm water and splash zones as well as gravel banks and islands offer a variety of animals and …

Today we were on the water again. This time along the Unstrut between Nägelstedt and Grossvargula.
On the way there we were on our own. It mainly leads through a wooded area, you can often see the unstrut through the trees.
On the way back, you share the paths with the cyclists. Here you can walk along orchards with lots …

like this weather. Hazy, damp fog hangs in the air. temperatures around freezing point.
The little light immerses nature in a special atmosphere. The Unstrut is dark, in combination with the pastures an almost creepy atmosphere 😌 the snack & grill in Nagelstedt invites you to stop off
