Wide fields, orchards alleys and a Renaissance gem Those seeking the opposite of a forest walk will find it on this tour: It goes across the wide fields and along the huge fields of the eastern Thuringian Basin to Buttstädt, a market town with a long tradition. The expanse of the farmland is divided by characteristic orchard alleys, which unfold their charm especially during the blooming period in spring and the ripening period in October (when you should plan enough time to try the fallen fruit). Historical significance is also noteworthy: the tour route initially follows a historic Via Regia, a formerly privileged trade route connection (here the one between Mainz via Leipzig to Breslau). The undeniable highlight of this tour and a designated jewel is the Camposanto of Buttstädt, a Renaissance-style cemetery with arcades and tombs from the 16th to 19th centuries. It is one of only three such cemeteries left in Germany.

Der Finnewanderweg beginnt am Bahnhof in Weißenfels, führt über das Finne- Mittelgebirge und endet in Sachsenburg am Unstrutdurchbruch. Ab dort wird er mit gleicher Markierung - rotes Dreieck- als Hainleitewanderweg- weiter geführt. Besonders interessante Orte sind: Weißenfels - Naumburg - Bad Kösen - Bad Sulza - Eckartsberga - Rastenberg. Auf der Wanderung wechseln sich Laubwälder, offene Landschaften, Aussichtspunkte und Burgen ab.
Anfang 2020 erfolgte eine Änderung der Wanderroute: zwischen Weißenfels und Leißling verläuft der Wanderweg jetzt linksseitig der Saale; in Naumburg nicht mehr auf dem Saaleradweg, sondern durch das Zentrum. Sowohl in Sachsen Anhalt, wie auch in Thüringen, wurde die Wegweisung und Markierung erneuert.
