An eventful cycle tour through the green and culturally diverse west of Leipzig and the famous Plagwitz district.

The cycle tour is perfect for a short city tour for families. Those interested in culture and all those who want to explore the west of Leipzig by bike. The route combines green parks, historical sights and lively, trendy districts.

Starting in the city center, the route leads past the Old Town Hall and St. Thomas Church, continuing through the famous Clara Zetkin Park along the Weiße Elster to the west. In the popular trendy district of Plagwitz, cyclists can expect a special mix of industrial culture and creative scene. Karl-Heine-Straße is considered the heart of the district with a great selection of restaurants and cultural venues. The canals, especially the Kral-Heine Canal, have earned Leipzig the nickname "Little Venice". In addition to canoe tours and excursion boat trips, there are even real Venetian gondolas gliding through the water. If you want, you can set off on a short boat tour yourself at any time.
