July 12, 2023,Naumburg - Goseck - Geiseltalsee - Freyburg - Naumburg

Today's Wednesday tour started in Naumburg. First we went to Goseck to the early solar observatory. Then we (almost) circled the Geiseltalsee. From Müchel we drove back to the Unstrut valley and to Naumburg.

From here you have a breathtaking …
