Kunitzburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle ruins with a wonderful view. There are various hiking trails to the Kunitzburg. It is recommended to just walk along the horseshoe, then you come to the beautiful Jenzig.

November 22, 2023,SaaleHorizontale Etappe 3 (als Runde): Burgen im Saaletal

Since the public transport from Wogau to Kunitz would have taken us too long for the 3rd stage of the Saalehorizontale, we turned it into a loop to and from Kunitz. Stop at the Jenzig with friendly innkeepers. After the hike we visited the reconstructed house bridge in Kunitz.

March 1, 2025,Saalehorizontale - Etappe III "Burgen im Saaletal"

Anyone who likes climbs will get their money's worth right from the start of the third stage of the SaaleHorizontale - myself included! The start in Wogau took me straight up a steep climb of around 1 km before continuing on a long, straight stretch directly to Jenzig. There I made a short detour to enjoy the view before heading …

April 23, 2025,Etappe 3: Von Wogau nach Burg Gleißberg

And once again, a tour starts in Wogau. This time, however, it's going in the opposite direction; stages 3 and 4 are on the agenda today.
The trail leads north uphill and then, always horizontally to the west, always along the edge of the hill. The view is once again far-reaching.
Along the Jenzig River, we continue to Laasan.

October 22, 2023,Saale-Horizontale 3. Etappe - Von Wogau nach Wogau

Good bye,
The third section was actually planned earlier. But firstly it turns out differently and secondly than you think. For the route with various altitude meters, stable health is a basic requirement, especially at (slightly) advanced age.
After the two previous stages had different starting and finishing points, which we were able to bridge using public transport, it was …

June 14, 2025,kunitz Runde

Today's tour took me to the Jena area. From Kunitz, I headed up to the Saale horizon. I stopped at the Jenzig Inn, which was actually still closed. Thanks to the friendly people, I was treated to a drink and a delicious fish sandwich early.

Then I continued past the paraglider launch site toward Kunitzburg.

July 12, 2025,Jena 🔬 SaaleHorizontale 2/5

From Jenapriessnitz, the hike first went through the fields and around Wogau. Up to the Jenzig ridge, and after Jenzig, it was downhill, even with the weather 🌧 From Laasan onward, the forecast was for continuous rain, so I ended today's stage at Kunitzburg Castle and headed down to Kunitz to catch the bus.
