In this section of the Saale cycle path you have a beautiful view up to the castle. Spectacular and one of the most photo opportunities.

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!

July 1, 2023,Saale Unstrut Elster Rad 8 die Hälfte

The whole bike 🚲 8 should actually be ridden today. But the celebrations of the last few days are still in my bones and have slowed me down.

I did part one last spring, and now I'm doing the other loop. I have to say I didn't enjoy it quite as much today as I did the other side. The first third of the loop was very nice, but the rest dragged on. There weren't many places to stop for refreshments or other things to do along the …

July 22, 2023,Saale Unstrut Elster Radacht Ostteil

Difficult tour, with e-bike on ECO because of the 90 km. At Osterfeld the path is a bit difficult. Then comes the Zuckerbahnradweg where you can rest.

I finally managed the eastern part of the Radacht yesterday. Very nice route. The signposting of the route is very good. Only 2 signs were missing, so Komoot's navigation had to help out. The weather was very nice. Beautiful sunshine and mostly clear skies. The route can be recommended.

June 18, 2022,Saale-Unstrut-Elster-Rad-Acht - Ostschleife

Part one of the Rad-Acht with Naumburg as the center.
Theblossgrund campsite is an ideal starting point for both the east and west loops.
The route is actually good through fields and fields, mostly on bike paths and side roads with little traffic. The signage is good.
However, I would wish that a cycle path with three rivers in its …

October 2, 2021,Saale-Unstrut-Elster-Rad-Acht - Tag 1 - Ostroute

Saale-Unstrut-Elster Rad-Acht; what a monstrous word for a really contemplative, varied and natural connection of four or more river cycle paths. saale-unstrut-tourismus.de/touren/saale-unstrut-elster-rad-acht The tour itself is still a little insider tip. At least we didn't meet any other bikers except on the main route of the Saale Cycle Path. So we had the route and nature all to ourselves.

Last year I drove this lap in the other direction. Today was the return trip, so to speak. The weather was still very pleasant. In the afternoon it was still sunny. I then met Denis M at the Neue Welt.
