Saale River at Saalfeld

Highlight • River

The Saale is always an eye-catcher. Most of it is simply beautiful in its natural state.

This section of the Saale cycle path through Saalfeld is, in my opinion, the most beautiful. There are numerous spots for a cozy break, where you can let your gaze wander or simply listen to the rushing of the Saale.

April 15, 2026,Schwarza Knobelsdorff Lositz und zurück

After finishing the gardening, a short round had to be done today. First to Reschwitz, from there to Knobelsdorff, then through the forest to Eyba. The return journey went via Arnsgereut, Saalfeld and the Saale cycle path back to Schwarza. It was another successful afternoon.
