At the top of the vineyard you have a great view. The refreshment stop, where local wine is offered, is a welcome resting place after the climb (no matter which direction you come from).

September 22, 2023, Schönste Weinsicht Saale-Unstrut am Geiseltalsee

I felt like a wine queen today! Had the fantastic view and a good drink all to myself! It was a breathtaking impression! It wasn't until 2000 that the Reifert family started growing wine on the dump. Pioneering work to achieve the highest level of recultivation has been achieved on the former opencast mining site! The drop tastes good and the view is uniquely beautiful. The vineyard is south-facing and has a steep slope of thirty percent. The view of the largest artificial lake in Central Germany can be enjoyed with the fine wine 🍷
