Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.

Linkenmühle Ferry

Highlight • Structure

Always fun to take the ferry, although a bridge wouldn't be bad either. The restaurant is also recommended.
