Brachwitzer Alpen Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

For me one of the most beautiful cycling destinations in the region. From Halle I always take the Saale Cycle Path to the Brachwitz ferry, cross over there, return to the Saalekiez and drive back via Franzigmark and the "Hafen".

Here along the banks of the Saale there are many opportunities to relax or to be active with or without family or friends, such as playing boccia, cycling, running and much more. A few small stands provide drinks or refreshments.
