Saaleradweg

Highlight • Cycleway

The Saale Cycle Path is quite easy to ride. Further north, you come to the Saale-Unstrut wine region. Tip: You should definitely visit the Kaatschen winery, even if it's just for a pint.

At over 500 years old, it is probably the oldest hunting lodge in the former ducal hunting ground. The log house served as a central meeting point before and after hunting and as an arsenal for storing hunting equipment.
