Saale-Unstrut wine region

When we got up, we were welcomed by the sun and blue skies. After breakfast, we continued our way along river Unstrut. We passed Freyburg, which is famous for its hilly vineyards, and went on to Naumburg where we hit the river Saale bike trail. Naumburg is a pretty town, so we decided to stop for a coffee. Afterwards, we followed the river Saale for a bit, admired some old castles and monasteries along the way, stopped for a proper Thüringer Bratwurst (properly prepared on a charcoal BBQ) and slowly made our way East along an old train route turned into a bike path. We got to the lake region South of Leipzig where we first stopped for a picnic and then headed to a café to get some ice cream. Finally, we cycled to a small village nearby where our hosts Lars and Jenny waited for. We enjoyed dinner in the backyard and discussed our South America trips (they traveled in South America in 2018).Read more
