Highlight • River

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

Carl Zeiss Bridge

Saale Meadows

Highlight • River

Directly at the stadium Saalfeld is a nice place for barbecues or for a campfire. In addition, you have a nice view of the place where a branch of the Saale, the pool, branches off.

View of the Saale in Saalfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
