Walk to the westernmost vineyards of the Saale-Unstrut wine region

Bad Sulza looks back on two traditions that at first glance seem quite incompatible: salt production and wine growing, a combination that alone stirs the taste buds in thought. In the landscape, however, the two not only harmonize calmly with each other but also lay the foundation for the renewed bloom of this spa town, which is also called the "Tuscany of Thuringia" (note: nothing beats a catchy slogan!). This walk spans from the graduation tower Louise at the beginning and the end of the hike to the vineyards and estates on the heights marking the southwesternmost tip of the Saale-Unstrut wine region.

With the parking lot at our back, we turn right at the entrance and after 50 m turn right onto a footpath. Through the wine gate (photo top left) we pass the graduation tower and continue straight ahead. We ignore junctions to the right or left; rather, we follow the road over the railway tracks where it becomes the little road Unter den Sonnenbergen and bends left. Shortly after Gernstedter Straße joins from the left, we choose the field path to the right in front of a small stream into the Lanitz valley. We stay on it along the wooded valley without being distracted by upward paths. Beyond the spring catchments of the waterworks, the field path turns into a track following the stream northeast. For a while, we walk along the bottom of an orchard before crossing the Lißbach stream on a bridge to the left at a forest edge. Then we continue on the northwest side of the valley until 20 m before the town sign of Rehehausen. Here we turn sharply right, cross the valley below the sewage

Profile picture of Sabine Gilcher Author Sabine Gilcher
Sabine Gilcher, Jahrgang 1962, wuchs im bayerischen Alpenvorland auf, mit einem Hochmoor direkt vor der Haustür, den Osterseen gleich um die Ecke und den Bergen immer in Sichtweite.  Die Liebe zur Natur wurde daher früh geweckt und später im Studium der Landespflege vertieft. Heute lebt sie als Landschaftsplanerin in Freiburg im Breisgau. Ein Aufenthalt als Erntehelferin auf einem Bauernhof in Norwegen weckte die Liebe zu Skandinavien. Seit mehr als 30 Jahren bereist sie Europas Norden und Nordwesten und lässt sich jedes Mal von Neuem von den dortigen Landschaften faszinieren. Ihre Hobbys Wandern und Fotografieren sind die ideale Kombination zum Erstellen der Wanderführer für den Rother Bergverlag und das Wissen um ökologische Zusammenhänge kommt ihr sowohl im Gelände als auch beim Verfassen der Wanderführer sehr zustatten.
