Saale-Unstrut vineyards

Highlight • Natural

Is that a good combination, a fast run followed by a wine tasting 🥴🤣? No, the vineyards nestle picturesquely along the limestone cliffs. The wine taverns are a welcome rest stop for refreshments. 👌🥂🤗

Steinernes Bilderbuch Rock Relief

Highlight • Monument

The 12 stone reliefs that can be seen here represent the largest picture reliefs in the European cultural area that were worked into rock. They were created at the beginning of the 18th century. The total length is almost 200 meters: The following reliefs can be seen: Moses' miracle of the spring, fox hunt, Duke Christian, putti dance with the harpist David, wedding at Cana, Lot's intoxication and burning Sodom, the proclamation of the shepherds, Christ in the winepress, the workers in the vineyard and Noah as the first winegrower.

Confluence of the Saale and Unstrut Rivers

Highlight • River

A very beautiful piece of earth on the flower ground, where the Saale and the Unstrut flow together. The natural pool was still in use until the early 1990s, with the pool water being pumped from the Saale into the pool.

From here you cycle on the Saale cycle path either in the direction of Bad Kösen or in the direction of Naumburg and Schönburg.
