Hollow Way Through Schönburg Sandstone

The Schönburg lies on a sandstone rock about 40 m above the Saale. The 32 m high keep with its beautiful fireplace in the tower room and the guard room at the top of the tower are particularly worth seeing. The building next to the gate to the outer bailey is the former forester's lodge and was built in 1539/40 in the Renaissance style. There are sufficient parking spaces at the foot of the Schönburg, from which you can start your excursions to the castle and the surrounding area.
A dock for ships, a campsite, bike and hiking trails around Schönburg invite you to relax. For weary hikers there is a café and pastry shop. Knight's banquets, candlelight dinners and much more are organized in the Burgschänke. The "court house" of the Naumburg bishops from the 12th century is located within the medieval walls. The registry office of our administrative community maintains a branch office here.Source: schoenburg.de

It doesn't matter whether you're on foot or in a vehicle: crossing Schönburg takes you along the winding ravine that runs right through the Buntsandstein. Even the shelter for the bus stop is carved into the stone and a rock cellar is advertised as a former prison with a wink. In any case, a very interesting route that impresses when you come into Schönburg.

A very spectacular route.
