Very nice castle, which you pass on the Saaleradweg. A visit is definitely worth it. Not far from here (in the direction of Naumburg) is the Gasthof Alter Felsenkeller, ideal for a longer break. Delicious food and drinks!

In Leißling it goes over a bridge (here there used to be a ferry) in the direction of Lobitzsch and then up to Goseck Castle (strong ascent). There is a beer garden …

It is the xth repetition of the route. But the Saale Valley always fascinates us.
