The wine mile between Bad Kösen and Naumburg is not only scenically very beautiful, it also invites you to enjoy the local wine with a small snack with many small rest stops.

Saale-Unstrut vineyards

Highlight • Natural

Is that a good combination, a fast run followed by a wine tasting 🥴🤣? No, the vineyards nestle picturesquely along the limestone cliffs. The wine taverns are a welcome rest stop for refreshments. 👌🥂🤗

August 30, 2024,Große Runde Saale-Unstrut

Once again we were drawn to Freyburg (Unstrut) with its great cycle paths and beautiful landscape. First up was a tour on the western part of the Saale-Unstrut-Elster cycle route, with mostly easy-to-ride cycle paths and wonderful scenic impressions; an e-bike is also recommended here.

Today's tour started in Bad Sulza. The first stop was the castle in Eckardsberga, which is unfortunately closed. From there it went via Bad Bibra to Unstrut. Unfortunately, the castle in Burg cuttings is also not accessible, not even the outside area. We found a broom nearby. Along Unstrut, Saale and Ilm we went back to the starting point l.

The boarding and alighting station was Bad Sulza- one of the few bicycle-friendly stations.
We had a nice break in the broom bar "Boy's Gutsausschank" in Unstruttal!

After initial recording problems with komoot and navigation problems in Freyburg, it was a nice, demanding ride on paved bike paths, through woods and meadows and over some road.

September 4, 2023,Saale-Unstrut-Elster Rad-8: WEST-Schleife

There are some tour reports about this Rad-8 here on Komoot, which made me curious. And I also wanted to try out the new bike extensively. I already knew the sections of the route in the valleys of Saale, Ilm and Unstrut, but I didn't yet know the connection from Eckartsberga to the Unstruttal - so this morning we started …

A nice tour that goes partly along the vineyards. You drive on roads through small towns, on forest and meadow paths and gravel roads. You can stop at many wine cellars and restaurants. Unfortunately, we were running out of time because rain was forecast again. Furthermore, the kilometers have drained the condition, but this is our new KM record 🙂.
