할레 살레 운스트루트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A magnet for cyclists and day-trippers, just don't forget the old hiking trails, otherwise you'll lose the hikers.

Well, it is probably the highlight of the region, but there are also opinions that claim the site is somewhere else.😉

Museum & Exhibitions High above the wine-growing town of Freyburg lies Neuenburg, the sister castle of Wartburg, founded around 1090 by the Thuringian Count Ludwig the Springer. The first mighty complex was built by 1150. The rise of the Landgraves of Thuringia was accompanied by further magnificent expansion. By 1230, Neuenburg was already around three times as large as Wartburg! The Romanesque double chapel built around 1170/75 is still an architectural gem today. On behalf of Hermann I, Heinrich von Veldeke completed the Eneasroman around 1185, the first Middle High German knightly-courtly verse epic ever. Neuenburg experienced the end of its high medieval heyday under Landgrave Ludwig IV and his wife, Saint Elisabeth.

The Koniks make the shell limestone plateau, which is already worth seeing, a highlight. When we were here in March 2024, we saw 12 ponies that were anything but shy - at the same time, there were more people than horses here that Sunday. Important: the ponies must not be fed!

The shell limestone plateau with forests and open land in the south of Saxony-Anhalt was used for military purposes for decades and was dedicated to nature conservation as a national natural heritage site in 2009. A variety of species-rich habitats can be found on the 182 hectare natural heritage area: mixed deciduous forests, poor lowland hay meadows and dry limestone grasslands on an extensive high plateau, sparsely vegetated steep slopes and remnants of former vineyards. Together with the neighboring “Dead Valleys”, the Rödel is one of the orchid-richest areas in Saxony-Anhalt. See: https://www.naturstiftung-david.de/roedel

There is also a rest area here and an information board from the nature trail

A beautiful landscape that now shows a great change of color in autumn. Of course the Koniks are the real attraction, but sometimes they don't feel like showing off. So just enjoy the space and the peace at the top of the Rödel. The viewing platform provides extensive information about this special habitat, grazing and the origin of the free-roaming horses.

The Luther Trail now also leads this way: https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen-anhalt/halle/burgenland/pilgern-lutherweg- Extension-tourismus-eisleben-naumburg-100.html https://www.lutherweg.de/news/lutherweg-sachsen-anhalt-erhaelt-sued Extension.html https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wandel/saale-unstrut/lutherweg-eisleben-querfurt-freyburg-naumburg/260620375/#dm=1
