The Salzlandkreis is particularly well known for its historical sights such as Köthen Castle or the Bach Monument. The region also has a lot to offer culturally, for example with the annual Bach Festival or the "Art Kapella" art festival.

Culinary delights include typical German dishes such as bratwurst or sauerkraut in a cosy inn.

For outdoor activities, summer and autumn are particularly suitable - then you can go hiking through the Harz Mountains, go on bike tours along the Elbe River or even go canoeing on the rivers Bode and Saale.

If it should rain, we recommend a visit to the city museum in Köthen or a shopping tour in Magdeburg.

The most beautiful place, however, is the Bauhaus in Dessau - architecture lovers will get their money's worth here!

All in all, a visit to the Salzlandkreis is definitely worthwhile. With our Travel Guide you are well prepared and will find all the important information about your destination!

    Wir sind die komplette Strecke gefahren. Landschaftlich sehr reizvoll. Mix aus naturbelassenen Wegen und wenig befahrener Straßen. Wenig schattige Abschnitte. Viele Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten entlang der Strecke. Sehr gut ausgeschildert.

    Sehr schöne und interessante Tour! Genau das richtige für einen Samstagnachmittag. Mit Pausen benötigten wir drei Stunden. Aber Vorsicht: Die Strecke zwischen Schleuse Rothenburg und Fähre Bruck ist in einem erbärmlichen Zustand. Die Alternativroute "Saaleradweg" ist über zwei Kilometer schlammig und zerfahren, obwohl es tagelang nicht geregnet hat.. Das trübt die Laune. Wer Schleuse und Insel besuchen möchte, ist zu empfehlen wieder zurück zu fahren und die Brücke Nelben zu nutzen. Tipp: Gut Trebitz besuchen, einmal mit der Kettenfähre fahren (Ein Euro pro Person und Fahrrad), Schleuse besuchen (wird von Alsleben ferngesteuert), sich in Rothenburg umsehen.
