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. 👌🥂🤗

August 3, 2025,Männertour Tag 3: Ilmtal- und Saaleradweg - Weimar ➡️ Weißenfels

Three days, three men, three tours. We spent a truly wonderful time together on the Bock. Of course, we also enjoyed a cold beer or two and had a great meal. It's a shame it's already over. But we'll continue next week 🚴🏻‍♂️😅.
