The Unstrut is a leisurely hiking river suitable for beginners and families. The river is navigable from Straußfurt, and from Artern no more portaging at weirs is necessary, as locks are available. The Unstrut flows into the Saale in Naumburg and forms a pillar of the canoeing area in southern Saxony-Anhalt.

Scenic paddling route through the northernmost wine-growing region of Germany from Camburg to the cathedral city of Naumburg. Muschelkalk cliffs accompany you on this stage to the vineyards along the Saale. Between Kaatschen and Großheringen, nature is particularly beautiful, and kingfisher colonies find their place here. Saaleck Castle and Rudelsburg majestically throne on their cliffs and frame this impressive backdrop.

    schöne Tour im Juli 2026. Niedrigwasser. zwischen Sömmerda und bis hinter Bottendorf sollte man aufmerksam sein und auf Steine im Wasser achten besonders mit Faltboot. Übernachtungen sehr gut in Sömmerda, Artern, Bottendorf, Karsdorf möglich. Umtragungen teilweise etwas lästig, da steile Treppen zu überwinden sind. Bootswagen empfehlenswert. im Oberlauf angenehme Strömung.

    Schöne Tour, vor Allem der erste Teil. In Leißling kann man übrigens die Tour sehr gut verkürzen um mit dem Zug zurück nach Bad Kösen zu fahren.
