Cycling

On the 25.5 kilometers of this tour, you will drive almost the entire time along the Zwickauer Mulde through river meadows and a fascinating cultural landscape. Here you can enjoy quiet nature and experience living history in the truest sense of the word, because you will pass some of the most beautiful castles and palaces in the region:

Rochlitz Castle with its two towers "Lichte Jupe" and "Finstre Jupe" was built to secure the victory over the West Slavs. Find out more about the history of the castle on a guided tour or by visiting the permanent exhibition.

https://www.schloss-rochlitz.de Colditz Castle not only tells a medieval story, but also of the escape attempts of Allied officers who were held prisoner of war in Colditz Castle between 1939 and 1945. The castle is also the venue for the "Colditz Classic", a series of classical concerts on the Blüthner grand piano.

https://www.schloss-colditz.de Mildenstein Castle, located on a spur above the Freiberger Mulde, is one of the oldest castles in the Saxon settlement areas. In addition to exhibitions, guided tours and events, you can also take part in the interactive treasure hunt with Escape Room and find the "One-Eyed Man's Treasure".

Rochlitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

When visiting the castle, a tower climb should definitely be included in the program. The old supporting structure is worth seeing.

Here the Zwickau and Freiberg Mulde rivers merge to form the Mulde and end in the Elbe near Roßlau. A small rest area to linger after you have made both journeys and want to review everything once again.
