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. 👌🥂🤗

Naumburg Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul

Highlight • Religious Site

Very beautiful and breathtaking cathedral in a great city. There are countless highlights in Naumburg, and the cathedral is definitely one of them. There are many things inside to discover and admire.

Naumburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

It's the old (partially restored) houses and the atmosphere of this almost 1,000-year-old town that make you fall in love. The market on market days is especially recommended!

Naumburg Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Around the old town, visitors will find impressive remains of the old city fortifications. They served as a separation between the town hall and the cathedral city. The Marientor, which is well worth seeing, is the only remaining city gate.

With the best weather and the odd climb, we mostly went along the Unstrut and Saale.
I really liked the Naumburg Cathedral and the historic brine pumping plant in Bad Kösen with the impressive graduation tower …

A round with sun and wind.
On the climb to Fränkenau I even had a few raindrops to refresh me. As a reward, there was almost always a tailwind on the route towards Balgstädt.
