We will experience the extremely fast land use / land cover changes in this regions by photorealistic visualizations and trips within the region and will enjoy then the result of transformed landscapes into highly valuable recreational landscapes (Goitzsche, Muldentalstausee) today. Afforestation and touristic development will be shown by examples. We will then spend one night in a museum / hotel close to Ferropolis and learn about the region.

Parts of our tour will touch a potential future UNESCO world heritage site "Naumburger Kulturlandschaft" with a rich heritage of buildings and landscape sceneries from the high time of the middle ages. Short hikes and scenic stops will be the highlights of this day. The evening can be spend together – on demand we can reserve places in the most known (and really excellent) brewery at place.

A more concrete time plan will come soon.
