A Vineyard Hike to a Grass LabyrinthBetween Karsdorf and Reinsdorf, the Unstrut Valley opens up into a wide floodplain. Sunny slopes of the Querfurt Plateau adjoin to the north and west, extending as far as Freyburg. Its substrate of shell limestone and Upper Buntsandstein not only offers good conditions for rare plants but also for viticulture, which was already documented in 1207. The ICE track blends relatively well into the landscape here and diverts attention from the cement plant.First, we climb the Karsdorf slopes past vineyards and the view over the railway line to Steigra. The village has a special feature: a historic grass labyrinth, mostly called "Trojaburg" or "Schwedenring." These names possibly refer to Swedish soldiers in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) who may have built the labyrinth modeled after designs from their homeland. On the return journey, we pass the idyllic vineyards of the Steigraer Hahnenberge.

Through cozy side valleys of the western GeiseltalThe small town of Mücheln is nestled between the vast water surface of the Geiseltal lake and the Querfurter Plateau, whose agricultural landscape shows itself at its best here. Small woods and orchards structure the hinterland of the oldest town in the Geiseltal in idyllic valleys and on heights, surrounded by almost flat highlands.First, we hike to St. Ulrich Park, laid out in the style of an English landscape garden. Here we enjoy a beautiful view of the terraced baroque garden, the town of Mücheln, and St. Ulrich water castle, a neo-baroque building from 1924 with older parts from the 15th/16th century. Then we make a large green loop through the Mücheln limestone valleys: the wooded Hesseltal, the Müchelholz, and the idyllic Gleinaer Grund. In St. Micheln we expect the Romanesque Michaeliskirche and the Geisel spring. Through the forest, we reach St. Ulrich where we follow the Mill hiking trail to the historic market square of Mücheln with Renaissance town hall (1571) and Gothic Jakobs church (14th/15th century).
