Cruise vessel ‘Fröhliche Dörte’ (1888)
The steamboat ‘Fröhliche Dörte’, built in 1888, brought us along the Unstrut River from Freyburg to Naumburg. The cruise led partly through a landscape conservation area. A few months later, I learned these rides were no longer available. What a pity!

Cork oak at the Rotkäppchen winery
Visitors of the Rotkäppchen winery in Freyburg (Unstrut) find this piece of cork oak (Quercus suber) in the splendid staircase of the administration building. That way, they learn from which tree the sparkling wine corks are made.
