Saale-Unstrut vineyards

Highlight • Natural

Is that a good combination, a fast run followed by a wine tasting 🥴🤣? No, the vineyards nestle picturesquely along the limestone cliffs. The wine taverns are a welcome rest stop for refreshments. 👌🥂🤗

August 9, 2023,Saale-Unstrut Weingut – Blick auf Schloß Neuenburg Runde von Bad Kösen

Very nice environment, however, you can't say anything about the Saale, wineries, Unstrut and villages, all very nice. Now that, but I don't know who approved this tour, but it is never partially suitable for bicycles, stairs and paths that are completely overgrown. If you want to take detours, you can take this tour or you have to create it …

The route is absolutely good up to the Naumburg city limits. From then on you shouldn't follow it as there is little to see and the path is extremely poor.
