Overview
About this route
This tour takes us from the train station (stop) in Schweikershain first to the small town of Hartha. Then we descend into the Muldental valley (Freiberger Mulde) and back up again to Großweitzschen. Over hilly terrain, we follow small roads and villages to the fruit-growing area near Ablass and continue on to Mutzschen. From there, we gently descend into the valley of the united Mulde to Nerchau and there onto the very well-developed MuldentalBAHNradweg. We follow this path to Grimma. Now one could ride the Muldentalradweg all the way to Wechselburg, but here the surface quality is questionable. So we once again follow small roads and villages, enjoy a beautiful view of the Lipperndorf power plant, pass by Bad Lausick, and almost imperceptibly reach height (except in Tautenhain) until we arrive at Geithain. Now just a bit uphill, with the Rocklitzer Berg in view, until it steeply descends to Wechelburg into the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde. Up the railway viaduct and further up past Hohenkirchen, we soon reach Burgstädt, turn into the Chemnitz valley, and arrive fresh and cheerful (or rather not!) after 125 km in Chemnitz.
