Freyburg, Information and images
The Burgenlandkreis, the heart of the Saale-Unstrut region, has its name as southernmost district of Saxony-Anhalt, bordering on Thuringia and Saxony.. As a former border area between Saxony and Slavs, traversed by several important trade routes in both the East-West - and the North-South - alignment, fortified churches, castles and palaces were built on many strategically important points.. In the narrowest of spaces you can explore more than a hundred smaller or larger castles in the Saale-Unstrut Valley.. Many of these facilities are so close to each other that you can explore on foot or by bicycle or canoe in a day several gems of medieval architecture.. Some of the sometimes impressive structures now house museums that deal with various aspects of regional and national history.. <9> South of Jena, near Kahla, stands one of the most beautiful and largest castles in the Saale valley: the Leuchtenburg.. The castle ruins Saaleck and the Rudelsburg, are just a stone´s throw away, so you can explore both castles in one afternoon.. In the Naumburg Cathedral, the construction sequence of the Middle Ages can be experienced first-hand and a facsimile of the famous ´Merseburger Zaubersprüche´ can be admired in the cathedral of Merseburg.. Halle has the oldest and the youngest castle in the Saale valley: Burg Giebichenstein and the Moritzburg.. The monastery ruin of Memleben, part of the former imperial palace of Otto I., the now inhabited castle on the Wendelstein, the ruins of Nebra Castle and Neuchâtel Castle, high above the Unstrut in Freyburg are just a few more examples.. <9> <9> <994/1217758> <994/1217757> <994/1177033> <994/1177032> <9> <9> <1001> Here´s more to learn
