Colorful bike tour: Discover the Altenburger Land on two wheels!

In Altenburger Land it is currently blooming in all colors, and the cyclists are enthusiastic about the living nature and the cultural treasures of the region. The moderator Steffi Peltzer-Büssow cycles towards the color frenzy on the national bike path of the "Thuringian City Chain". The route leads you past bright rapeseed yellow fields, a scenery that not only makes the heart of nature lovers beat faster.

The region has a lot to offer, and so Peltzer-Büssow also stops on its tour with Andrea Wagner and Frank Spieth's saffron cultivation, who brought this noble plant back to Altenburg. Formerly known as "Güldenene Aue", the path promises both culinary and cultural discoveries. On the way, the cyclists encounter carpathous buffalo in the Sprat-aue, and you cycle through picturesque villages with charming half-timbered houses.

A look behind the scenes

But not only the landscape is a highlight of the tour. Steffi also discovers the Schmöllner button traditions and the impressive salon culture at Posterstein Castle.
