View of the Saale River and the ICE Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is worth exploring the Saale cycle path, Merseburg with its cathedral and castle should not be left behind when driving. The park at the cathedral is a feast for the eyes (in every season).

August 13, 2022,Sternfahrt Merseburg: von Merseburg nach Halle und zurück

Today we went to Halle and back. Halle is clearly underestimated by many. The Handel city has a lot to offer in terms of historical buildings and culture. Last but not least, the Halle Auen are worth seeing.

December 28, 2023,Saale-, Elsteraue ☀️🚴🏽‍♀️ mit viel Wasser 💧💧💧

I actually wanted to continue cycling from Kollenbey towards Burgliebenau in this sunny weather, but the path was flooded, as was almost the entire floodplain between Saale/Elster, Gerwische and Luppe, an impressive lake landscape 😯🤩🏞. That's why we went back to Panettone and mulled wine via Planena 😉😋
