Saaleradweg Vineyards and Castle Ruins

Highlight • Cycleway

You can cycle wonderfully to the left and right of the river, so "laps" are also possible

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!

May 1, 2023,Saale- und Elster-Saale-Radeweg | Naumburg - Leipzig | 4/4

After a delicious breakfast in the Henne, we continued towards Leipzig. We left the Saale near Dehnitz and reached Lützen. The lunch break merged into an ice cream break at the Eiscafe Eisbär and less than 20 kilometers later we were back in Leipzig.

June 15, 2024,3 Ländertour VII - Saale- Schütz & Sahneeis

Cycle home along the Saale, stop again at Schütz in Weißenfels - this time a good museum and highly recommended and then take the Elster-Saale connecting path via Lützen (and the fantastic ice cream parlor) home.

April 26, 2023,Naumburg nach Leipzig

The departure from Naumburg was somewhat delayed today. When loading our bikes, Ria's bike stand suddenly broke off. Luckily we found a bike workshop that was able to grind and mount a new one for us within a very short time.

May 12, 2024,Familien-Fahrradtour 2024 Tag 4: Zwenkauer See ➡️ Naumburg

Last day of our 3-generation family bike tour 2024. Once again it was time to have breakfast together and then saddle up the chickens. The first few kilometers through no man's land, but after an hour there were excellent bike paths again (Saale-Elster and Saale). Again mostly nice and close to the water. In Weißenfels one last eleven o'clock drink …

July 25, 2022,1. Etappe: Leipzig - Naumburg (Saaleradweg)

A nice route, but not necessarily at 38 degrees as there is hardly any shade until Weißenfels. From Weißenfels you can use the numerous bathing areas on the Saale for refreshments.
