View of Plötzkau Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just beautiful. A visit during the week is just great - because you usually have the whole castle to yourself.

September 15, 2024,Fahrradtour Entlang dem Saale Radweg nach Nienburg a. d. Saale 🚴😎☀️

Today we spontaneously went along the Saale cycle path from Alsleben to Nienburg a. d. Saale. Past the castle in Plötzkau, then on to Gröna through Bernburg to Nienburg a. d. Saale 🚴😎☀️. It was a lovely bike ride.

At the end of our 4-day Whitsun tour along the Saale, another varied and beautiful stage through sleepy villages, great river landscapes and beautiful towns. The roads were easy to ride.

On the hunt for Salzland cultural temples. Today Plötzkau Castle and Alsleben Water Tower. Since I didn't feel like going to my sauna house yet 😅 I went to Nienburg. The wind was just too nice 😆. But the last few kilometers were torture and we went home at a leisurely pace via Baalberge🙈

Slightly longer but scenic tour in the lower Saale valley. The cycle path is paved throughout and (unfortunately) relatively little frequented.

Finally spent some time on the bike again after the bad C laid me flat.
It was fun but this C cost me some condition ☹️
Well then we have to tinker something on it 😎
