Dear international students!

Ready for a refreshing winter escape? Join us on the 29th of November for a stunning hike in Bad Kösen, one of the most beautiful spots along the Saale River. Expect peaceful forest paths, rolling vineyards, and two breathtaking castle viewpoints — Rudelsburg and Saaleck — standing proudly above the valley.
