Kemenate Ziegenrück and Wasserkraftmuseum Fernmühle

Highlight • Historical Site

Ziegenrück is a small town on the Saale and is considered a state recognized resort.

In addition to the already well worth seeing Kemenate is a side trip to the Wasserkraftmuseum with adjacent very good restaurant "The Fernmühle" to recommend.

The hang-gliders start down here in the Saale valley. If you're lucky, you can sit on the bench and watch the starts. Lovely view!

Linkenmühle Ferry

Highlight • Structure

Always fun to take the ferry, although a bridge wouldn't be bad either. The restaurant is also recommended.
