Saale Cycle Route: Schönburg to Naumburg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Basically Andreas is right, but there is the section from the height "Neue Welt" to Felsenkeller and from autumn to spring you have to reckon with leaves, branches and earth on the bike path.

After a nice long weekend we went back to work today. Since I was on time, I drove along the Saale and Unstrut via Großjena and Rossbach to Naumburg. I bypassed the construction site at the flower ground. It was a nice ride and quiet from the traffic.

As soon as the thunderstorm passed over us, we hopped on our bikes and set off. It was already far too warm early. There was no sign of any cooling down. In Naumburg, preparations were already underway for the largest folk festival in the Burgenland district, the Hussite Cherry Festival, which took place from June 26th to June 30th, 2025.
