Saale River at Maua

Highlight • River

The Saale flows leisurely through the landscape near Maua. From the bridge you have a nice view and with a bit of luck you can wave to a few boaters.

Saale River

Highlight • River

The Saale is a river that is partly well developed for tourism and is fun to ride a bike or hike on. Many rest stops offer places to rest.

Saaleradweg

Highlight • Cycleway

The Saale Cycle Path is quite easy to ride. Further north, you come to the Saale-Unstrut wine region. Tip: You should definitely visit the Kaatschen winery, even if it's just for a pint.

Leuchtenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The ascent to Leuchtenburg is strenuous with a normal bike. It's a shame that you only get your well-deserved beer with a ticket to the castle...
