A great place to switch off. The restaurant offers a beautiful terrace with a view of the Saale and invites you to linger with tarte flambée and wine.

Today we're off again to the wine-growing region of Bad Kösen. Of course, a glass of wine was a must. The view from the vineyards is breathtakingly beautiful. The hike is no problem if you're in good shape. There are plenty of rest stops to enjoy everything.

Beautiful hike first above, then in the middle of the vineyards. Pforta Monastery with its park is particularly recommended, as is the setting for Harry Potter.

Beautiful tour. My recommendation would be to start the tour at the wineries on the asphalt road, as the path through the vineyards offers more shade. Of course, if you want to stop by, you have to go in the recommended direction. But in advance, the sun quickly becomes swimmery with wine.

Beautiful round over the vineyards on the Saale between Bad Kösen and Naumburg. After the start it goes straight uphill. Once on the plateau, the climbs are done. On today's February day, the paths have softened properly. It's definitely easier to walk in the summer. But probably also fuller. After beautiful views over the Saale valley, we went downhill again …

Once again made the typical beginner's mistake:
All the paths in Komoot also exist in nature 🤣
The serpentine path between kilometers one and two was a nature path for scouts with machetes, chainsaws and logging elephants, only without a path! 😳
I should actually be warned when a small black path (in Komoot) is hardly recognizable as such and …
