Great photo spot ♥️ with a view of Ziegenrück Castle. Of course, there's a lovely bench on the banks of the Saale River.

A lovely place to relax right on the Saale River. However, the weir makes a very loud noise. If you want to have a conversation, you'll want to find another spot.

Saalepromenade Ziegenrück, with many benches and an ice cream parlor that also rents pedal boats for a round of pedal boating on the Saale.

The rest area is also frequently used by campers because it's located right next to the road. From here, you also have a great view of the Saale Viaduct.
