Konik horses in the Tote Täler Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

With a little luck and a lot of rest you can see the horses living in the wild. Otherwise, the visitor platform and the information boards are definitely very informative.

June 14, 2025,Rundtour Tote Täler, Freyburg

A beautiful circular tour through the Toten Täler (Dead Valleys) and along the vineyards, with a stop at a Freyburg wine tavern. It's partly a very narrow forest path.

If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this tour. 🤗
I just got completely lost at the end in this huge wild horse enclosure. There are so many paths, and not all of them are immediately recognizable 🫣
And be careful ⚠️, there's an electric fence... 😬

October 8, 2023,Saale-Unstrut - "Wildpferde, Orchideen und Weinberge" 🐎🌺🍇

The sun came out again and I had another fantastic hike with a lot🌳🌺🐌🐎🍇🍰...
I started in Freyburg. The city is located on the Saale-Unstrut wine route.
The Unstrut is the most water-rich tributary of the Saale.
Surrounded by vineyards, Neuenburg Castle towers above the city with an impressive keep, called the “Fat Wilhelm”.
In the 12th century it was …

Today I went to a corner that I hadn't known before. It's crazy how different things are, although nothing is that far apart. 🙂
The goal today was the orchids, part of Freyburg and back through the prairie. 🐴🐴
The orchid blossom is slowly coming to an end. The paths through the "Tote Täler" are very well signposted and also …

July 29, 2025,Durch Tote Täler (Konik Wildpferde / Orchideenpfad Runde von Freyburg (Unstrut))

A very beautiful hike starting in Freyburg at the Schützenhaus (ample parking available). This hike leads through narrow paths, across the expanse of the nature reserve, past vineyards and the Unstrut River, back to Freyburg. After a short climb along a forest path, you turn onto a small "primeval forest" path. From there, you reach the gate to the nature …

Unfortunately we didn't see any wild horses today. They probably hid well w/ the storm yesterday?
It was a little over 15 km.
