Ducal Vineyard below Neuenburg Castle

Highlight • Structure

Museum & Exhibitions
High above the wine-growing town of Freyburg lies Neuenburg, the sister castle of Wartburg, founded around 1090 by the Thuringian Count Ludwig the Springer. The first mighty complex was built by 1150. The rise of the Landgraves of Thuringia was accompanied by further magnificent expansion. By 1230, Neuenburg was already around three times as large as Wartburg! The Romanesque double chapel built around 1170/75 is still an architectural gem today.
On behalf of Hermann I, Heinrich von Veldeke completed the Eneasroman around 1185, the first Middle High German knightly-courtly verse epic ever. Neuenburg experienced the end of its high medieval heyday under Landgrave Ludwig IV and his wife, Saint Elisabeth.

July 12, 2023,Naumburg - Goseck - Geiseltalsee - Freyburg - Naumburg

Today's Wednesday tour started in Naumburg. First we went to Goseck to the early solar observatory. Then we (almost) circled the Geiseltalsee. From Müchel we drove back to the Unstrut valley and to Naumburg.

The second tour from Freyburg leads to the Geiseltalsee (with decent climbs), partly through the forest to avoid cobblestones. After a delicious wine, the route is mostly downhill via Goseck towards the Saale, a fantastic way back.

From here you have a breathtaking …
