After the long stretches "across the land" yesterday - and probably the same tomorrow - today a lot of history, art, culture and religion: Neuenburg Castle and Naumburg Cathedral... 🙏😇

May 21, 2022,Von Naumburg nach Freyburg

Our destination today was Freyburg. On the Unstrut cycle path there were always beautiful views, so that the hike was a pleasure despite the asphalted surface. Freyburg was of course a very worthwhile destination with countless highlights. The guided tour through the Rotkäppchen Sektkellerei is not recommended at the moment due to renovation work, but the Marienkirche is even more …

Today we continue our journey on Via Regia.

We start at the train station in Freyburg, with a view of St. Mary's Church.

We walk over the Unstrut and look at Neuenburg Castle, with the striking Fat William and the vineyards.

Last year we stood at the bratwurst stand in pouring rain.

Beautiful stage between Freyburg and Naumburg. I already knew a lot, but I hadn't been to Naumburg before and I have to say that it's a city well worth seeing.

September 30, 2024,Weinbergwanderung von Naumburg über Sonneneck nach Freyburg (Unstrut)

Beautiful autumn tour with Blütengrund, cable ferry, Sonneneck (where the Saale and Unstrut rivers flow together), Max Klinger House, plenty of vineyards and Neuenburg Castle. Unfortunately we couldn't find any wine taverns open and the Max Klinger House is also closed on Mondays. But the autumn weather was fantastic.
