Useful information:
The Saale is the second-longest tributary of the Elbe in Germany, after the Vltava. It originates in the Fichtel Mountains in Upper Franconia and flows through Bavaria, Thuringia, and Saxony-Anhalt before joining the Elbe at Barby. From km 0.0 to km 124.2, it is a federal waterway. It is navigable continuously from Halle. The Saale is no longer used for freight transport.

The high banks of the Saale are adorned with numerous castles. Additionally, the Saale-Unstrut wine-growing region and the Saale Cycle Path are located there.
