January 29, 2022,Große Runde für lecker Essen 😋

Actually, there should be another trip to the Harz Mountains. But with the announced storm and rain, there was only one round at home to Plötzkau with a stop in the arbor. After the very delicious meal 😋 we went back via Bernburg to fight the calories we had eaten again ☺. In fact, there was no rain and the …

From the castle in Plötzkau we hiked via Gröna to Bernburg. Always nice along the Saale or across the floodplain forest. Our goal was the Eulenspiegel Tower of the castle in Bernburg. Till Eulenspiegel 😅 tells a funny story and you have fantastic views over the city. Great Tour!! 👍

That's …

... was the motto of the almost spring-like hike near Bernburg. Beautiful alluvial forests along the banks of the Saale and the silhouettes of the city center invite you to take a tour. There are also numerous places to stop for refreshments, but they are currently waiting for warmer days.
The area can also be explored by bike.
