Freyburg
Tingling Indulgence – Where Little Red Riding Hood Is at Home
Indulgence and active relaxation are a perfect match in Freyburg at the heart of the Saale-Unstrut wine region. Romantic terraced vineyards along the Unstrut river, historical vineyard castles on the steep slopes and, towering above it all, mighty Neuenburg Castle from which one can enjoy a superb view across the Unstrut Valley.
Romanesque Neuenburg Castle with its keep nicknamed Dicker Wilhelm (Fat William) is the town’s landmark.
In addition to the wine museum, the castle complex houses historical rooms such as the double chapel that transport visitors across 1000 years of history and familiarise them with the family of the Thuringian landgraves and Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia. Freyburg offers plenty of opportunities for trying the premium Saale-Unstrut wines. This includes guided wine tours, and a wine sponsorship offers a permanent connection to Freyburg. During a tour of the Rotkäppchen (Little Red Riding Hood) sparkling wine factory you will see Germany’s largest cuvée barrel, learn about the production of sparkling wine (German: Sekt), and get to taste the wines. Choose a selection of wines for enjoyment at home at the factory outlet and the Weingalerie of the Winzervereinigung Freyburg (winegrowers’ association).
