May 2, 2025,Auf der Suche 🧐nach dem Rotkäppchen 🥂🍾

A wonderful leisurely bike tour through the unspoiled Unstrut Valley, surrounded by vineyards, has a special flair.
A visit to the Rotkäppchen sparkling wine cellar in Freyburg/Unstrut was a lovely end to the tour.

July 3, 2022,Unstrut von Nebra nach Bad Kösen

the plan was actually the Unstrut from Nebra-Wangen to Freyburg, then "overland" with a detour to the Geiseltal reservoir back to Merseburg.
But when we were in Freyburg around 12.30 p.m., we first had lunch in the winegrowers' association (with a good Riesling), and then it was so hot that we gave up the "mountain stage" inland and cycled on …
