June 2, 2026, View of Bernburg Castle and the Saale River

From the Saale river, you have beautiful views of the castle, the Bernburg frame with the castle is the highlight 👍😊.

From Güsten, you ride on a cycle path along the Wipper to the Saale, then not immediately towards Bernburg, but first to the right towards Gröna directly along the Saale, then over the foot and cycle bridge and directly downstream along the Saale to Bernburg (6 km) for cycle tourists on the Saale cycle path, there is also a campsite directly on the Saale. From Bernburg, continue on the right side past the industrial area and on the left side back onto the Saale cycle path to Nienburg, in Nienburg not to the left over the bridge, but to the right in the direction of Wedlitz to Calbe Saale Ost (station) (total distance 37 km) or from Calbe Saale Marktplatz continue towards Schönebeck Salzelmen across the fields approx. 49 km (S-Bahn) to Magdeburg.

A lovely day-trip restaurant with a large beer garden, children's playground, and bowling alley. The food is very varied and delicious, and there's also a good selection of ice cream flavors. Always worth a visit 😎👍
