Paseo rápido en bici de Markkleeberg a Zwenkau

This scenic ride takes you from Markkleeberg, known for its lakeside parks and leafy charm just south of Leipzig, down to the quaint town of Zwenkau. The route covers a bit under 11 km, making it perfect for a relaxed outing. Most of your journey will be on a mix of paved and asphalt surfaces, weaving along quiet roads, cycle tracks, and a few stretches of old paving stones—so expect a solid “Sunday ride” feel.

You’ll breeze past green spaces and might catch views over Cospudener and Zwenkauer lakes, both reclaimed from former open-pit mines (now hotspots for water sports and nature lovers). With barely any hills, this is a friendly route for all riders.

Once you reach Zwenkau, reward yourself with a lakeside snack or explore the small harbor area—another local favorite. Whether you’re craving a gentle adventure or simply connecting two lakeside towns, this ride is a sure bet for cycle-friendly exploring.
