Just beautiful. A visit during the week is just great - because you usually have the whole castle to yourself.

April 24, 2022,Von der Georgsburg nach Bernburg und zurück

Slightly longer but scenic tour in the lower Saale valley. The cycle path is paved throughout and (unfortunately) relatively little frequented.

You have to keep pulling yourself together on these great tours, otherwise you'll be so busy taking photos that you don't have time to cycle anymore 🤣 The Saale cycle path, today from Bernburg to Rothenburg, wonderful!!! It's definitely worth considering tackling the whole Saale cycle path (403km) at some point... we'll see 🤗☀️

Between Wettin and Bernburg there is a very beautiful cycle route, mostly within sight of the Saale.

At the end of our 4-day Whitsun tour along the Saale, another varied and beautiful stage through sleepy villages, great river landscapes and beautiful towns. The roads were easy to ride.
