The circular route follows the Mulde-Elbe cycle route from Wermsdorf to Oschatz and back via the Döllnitztal cycle route. The appeal of the route lies not only in extraordinary sights but rather in the beauty of nature. Along the way, it is possible to join the Döllnitzbahn.
The cycle paths in the Wermsdorf Forest are both idyllic and interesting, a large, continuous forest area that offers nature lovers space and quiet, thus providing the best opportunities for relaxation. Between the towns of Wermsdorf and Oschatz, the Mulde-Elbe cycle route runs over an area characterized by numerous ponds, extensive meadows, and fertile fields on gently rolling to flat land. The only prominent elevation is the Collmberg, which rises almost one hundred meters above the surroundings.
To ease the journey, more than half of the Döllnitztal cycle route, which connects the two towns via the southern cycle path, can be completed by train. The Döllnitzbahn, a narrow-gauge railway colloquially known as "Wilder Robert," shuttles between Oschatz, Mügeln, and Glossen.
