Exciting bike tour in the Muldental: Discover nature and history!

The Muldental is currently presenting itself as a real paradise for all bike enthusiasts. The valley, shaped by idyllic fields, pastures and forests, is the perfect place for a varied bike tour that connects nature and history. The tour, which takes its starting point in Rochlitz and leads along the Zwickauer and United Mulde, is particularly attractive for day trippers.

The first rest is inserted in Rochlitz, where there is a lot to discover: the impressive castle, the inviting marketplace and the remarkable costumes of the prince's train in the city library captivate the visitors. The cycle path is well signposted, with special attention at the former train station in Rochlitz. With just a few cars on the paths, the chances are great to see a cow once more than a car.

Here, known from numerous stories about the escape attempts of allied officers in World War II, the castle deserves a visit. After a small rest on the marketplace - possibly with a refreshing ice - we continue on the Mulderadweg, which turns us into a real bike path to Colditz on which no cars are allowed.

After a certain effort, when the path between Colditz and Sermuth rises, cyclists can expect a wonderful departure to Santmuth, where the Freiberg and Zwickau Muld flow together. Here the impressively renovated manor lures kössern with a beautiful garden that is decorated with fountain and sculptures and offers a fantastic view of the trough. It goes back with a detour to the Podelwitz water lock, which dates from 1570 and represents another good reason for a stop.
