Schönburg Castle (Schönburg on the Saale)

Highlight • Castle

The castle looms over the Saale, so from the castle tower you have a wonderful view of the Saale floodplain to Naumburg or along the Saale to Goseck Castle.
The food in the Burgschänke is also recommended.

February 24, 2024,Wanderung vom "Halleschen Anger" nach Schönburg auf die Schönburg

A nice, short hike along the Saale, which was quite flooded. As you could see on the paths and in the area, the flood had reached completely different heights some time ago.
