The wine mile between Bad Kösen and Naumburg is not only scenically very beautiful, it also invites you to enjoy the local wine with a small snack with many small rest stops.

Saale-Unstrut vineyards

Highlight • Natural

Is that a good combination, a fast run followed by a wine tasting 🥴🤣? No, the vineyards nestle picturesquely along the limestone cliffs. The wine taverns are a welcome rest stop for refreshments. 👌🥂🤗

Naumburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

It's the old (partially restored) houses and the atmosphere of this almost 1,000-year-old town that make you fall in love. The market on market days is especially recommended!

Naumburg Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Around the old town, visitors will find impressive remains of the old city fortifications. They served as a separation between the town hall and the cathedral city. The Marientor, which is well worth seeing, is the only remaining city gate.

Today again ... the weather was right, the urge to move around was moderate - so let's go, nice and cozy along the Saale. The goal was Bad Kösen for an ice cream as a reward. A lot has happened at the weir, I was amazed. Back through the vineyards, you can always discover something new there. A little through …

when using my cell phone with gloves on, I probably unintentionally stopped my recording in Roßbach. But I was still a little way at the Unstrut. But then it was already dark.

But didn't find it. Only a strong west wind and at the end also drizzle.
But the little group felt good before we started eating.
(and drink).
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

LET YOUR SOUL DANGLE AND RECHARGE ENERGY:
The route between Naumburg and Bad Kösen invites you to do so and is one of my favorite cycling routes to switch off, let your soul dangle and just enjoy the picturesque landscape in which we live and are allowed to live. A real gift!
