Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Markkleeberg do 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.
