May 15, 2023,Thüringen: Apfelstedt zwischen Wechmar und Wandersleben

Between Mühlberg and (almost) Wechmar there is a beautiful loop along the Apfelstedt. The paths are beautifully natural. Many large poplars line the Apfelstedt. At the current time of the year, a lot of birds can be heard. If you want, you can cross the Apfelstedt at the fords.

Home tour

In spring-like temperatures we hiked from Wandersleben towards Wechmar and back again on the other side of the Apfelstädt.

The Apfelstädtaue has suffered greatly in recent years due to the drought and the almost dried-out Apfelstädt. Many trees have died.

The Apfelstädtaue is recommended at any time of year.

Small hike in front of the front door in hazy weather along the apple town. The paths along the apple town are beautiful in every season.

If you are already visiting the "Drei Gleichen" (very worthwhile circular tour, see lecture) you can also take in this beautiful meadow landscape. It is definitely worth it!
