Wanderung: Von Naumburg in den Blütengrund

The Most Beautiful Wine Views, Historical Mysteries, and Hidden Places of Power

Hiking Trip: From Naumburg to the Blütengrund

What to Expect

We’ll meet at the main train station in Halle and travel together to Naumburg, where the tour begins. The trail takes us through the idyllic village of Roßbach to the Unstrut River, which we’ll cross near Großjena. Soon we’ll reach a real highlight: the Max Klinger Vineyard, which captivates visitors with what is arguably the region’s most beautiful view of the vineyards and the impressive “Stone Picture Book.” Afterward, we’ll venture into the shady forests above the vineyards and enjoy a leisurely hike until we emerge back into the daylight at the “Henne” in Naumburg. The trail continues through the beautiful Blütengrund with its imposing fruit trees, from where we enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding vineyards. A special experience awaits us at the mouth of the Unstrut: Here, we’ll take the historic Gierseil ferry across the Saale (€1.50) before finally heading back to Naumburg Central Station. This varied circular tour beautifully combines culture, nature, and the enjoyment of wine!
