View of the Saale River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Saale meanders contemplatively through the lush, green landscape. Time to pause a little and let the calm of the quietly flowing river sink in.

Brachwitzer Alpen Cliffs

Highlight • Climb

The so-called Brachwitz Alps are part of the Porphyry Landscape Protection Area northwest of Halle. The red, towering rocks, which form a great contrast to the blue of the sky and the green of the surrounding flora, are characteristic.

Brachwitzer Alps on the Saale River

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rugged rocks and the landscape itself are very impressive. The Brachwitz Alps were formed by volcanic activity around 300 million years ago. The reddish volcanic rock is easy to recognize.
