Water hiking on the Saale
The 413 km long Saale rises as a trickle in the Franconian Fichtelgebirge mountains before swelling into a stately river in the Thuringian Forest. As a classic waterway, the Saale runs through Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt to its mouth on the Elbe. The diverse, pristine and almost untouched Thuringian river landscape between Mediterranean-looking shell limestone rocks offers ideal conditions for extended canoe tours. Kahla is a destination and starting point for short stages or longer tours.

Water hiking in Saale-Unstrut
