Saale-Unstrut wine region
Sunny wine-growing regions
Idyllic vineyards in the middle of a picturesque river landscape and over 60 different grape varieties - Saale-Unstrut is the wine region just outside the city of Halle and a popular destination for excursions. Three wine routes and the Unstrut and Saale cycle paths connect a large number of wineries and wine taverns where you can sample the wine. Exciting places such as Memleben Monastery, Nebra Ark at the site of the 3,600-year-old Sky Disc, the wine and sparkling wine town of Freyburg, Zeitz Castle and Castle Park, Naumburg with the UNESCO World Heritage Site Naumburg Cathedral and Bad Sulza with its Tuscany thermal baths tempt you to stop and explore. And who knows that a new vineyard was even created at Geiseltalsee with the end of open-cast mining?
