The sheep bridge spans the White Elster near the town of Beesen shortly before it flows into the Saale. This arch bridge made of sandstone used to be called the Zollbrücke. It is located on an old trade route that led from Magdeburg to Merseburg. A gruesome legend goes hand in hand with the construction of the bridge. Accordingly, water spirits ensured that the bridge collapsed again and again until a child was walled in as a human sacrifice.

Saaleaue Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Abbey and Saaleaue near Planena

The nature reserve, consisting of three sub-areas, is located between Halle (Saale) and an industrial area west of Schkopau in a loop of the Saale. It protects a section of the Saale-Elster floodplain with remnants of alluvial forest, extensive areas of reed beds, backwaters, various standing water bodies and agricultural areas. It includes i.a. the abbey and the northern part of the Hohenweideschen Werder surrounded by an arm of the Saale in the west, the farmer's pastures near Planena in the south and the former Beesener Holz and Pfarrholz in the east.
