    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.

    Höhepunkte sind auf die Burg Wendelstein oder die Arche Nebra zuzufahren. Größtenteils hervorragender Radweg, einzig die Schlaufe bei der Burg Wendelstein auf der Hauptstrasse mit den engen Kurven sorgt mit Kindern für höheren Puls

    Mehrheitlich gut ausgebauter Radweg. Die Unstrutt ist über weite Teile ein monotoner Kanal umgeben von Agrarwüsten, sehenswert sind vor allem historische Bauten

    Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir sind sie in 4 Tagen mit je ca. 60 km gefahren. Besonders die Strecke an der Unstrut hat uns gut gefallen. Wir sind allerdings meist den ausgeschilderten Fahrradwegen gefolgt, die teilweise von dieser Strecke abweichen. Nur die Strecke von Bad Kösen über die Rudelsburg nach Saaleck ist grauenhaft. Hier ist der Weg teilweise dermaßen schlecht, das selbst das Fahrrad schieben schwierig ist. Hier würde ich jedem empfehlen ab Bad Kösen auf die andere Seite der Saale zu wechseln und die L203 entlang zu fahren. Ansonsten ist die Tour uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank für das veröffentlichen.

    eine abwechslungsreiche Rundtour,landschaftliche sehr interessant und fast durchgehend sehr gut zu befahrende Wege. Nur zu empfehlen. Radwegweiser auf der Strecke weichen öfter von der Navi-Strecke ab, die sollte man befolgen.

    Wir sind die Tour 2017 (direkt nach dem Hochwasser) gefahren. Von Leinefelde bis Naumburg. Schöne Tour, von der einen oder anderen Überflutung mal abgesehen. Immer wieder Sehenswertes am Wegesrand. Unbedingt zu empfehlen!
