Saale
The Saale, a federal waterway with a guaranteed minimal depth, is navigable between Barby to Merseburg all year round. Canoeists will enjoy the floodplain forests and the many interesting sights along the river banks.
Attractions along the Saale include floodplain forests, lush vegetation and a rich fauna. Tourist favorites such as the Bernburg Castle or the Nienburg monastery complex are also well worth a visit.
From its source at the Großer Waldstein in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), the Saale covers 413 km before it flows into the Elbe near Barby.
