This had even been burned once before and rebuilt again, so dear cyclists, honor these beautiful places and make sure that this time it is preserved.

View of Goseck Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Saale cycle path between Leißling and Schönburg you can admire it at Goseck height looking towards the Saale: Goseck Castle with its manor and castle church! Since I often passed here on my Saale bike tours and became curious, I visited Goseck Castle directly another time as part of an excursion. A visit is worth it. You come to Goseck via the town of Markröhlitz (between Naumburg and Weißenfels).
The castle church is a real highlight. On the estate you can enjoy organic cakes and lemonades. A short hike on the slope promises fantastic views and pure romance!

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

September 13, 2022,Drei Seen Runde

Today again to the Geiseltalsee. This time I chose the outward journey via Weißenfels and thus also paid a visit to the Großkaynaer See and the Runstädter See. Then again on the observation tower on the Klobigkauer Halde. There are some beams that are badly damaged. There is still more to be done with cosmetic repairs. In the Gleinaer Grund, …
