The south of Wilsdruff offers varied trails with lots of discovery potential for young and old.
The "Around Wilsdruff" cycle route is a beautiful route through the south of the Wilsdruff region.
The tour leads along beautiful cycle paths on the former narrow-gauge railway line, which was used by steam locomotives on narrow-gauge tracks until 1974, but is now ideal for exploring by bike.
At the beginning, you leave the city center and after a few meters you pass numerous fields that are in full rape blossom in spring, ride through tree-lined avenues and finally through forests.The Triebisch river accompanies the start of the route and is crossed repeatedly over small wooden bridges.
There are several worthwhile detours along the route, including the Limbach manor, which is close to the route. For refreshments and groceries, there is the Flade farm with a milk tapping point directly on the route, where you can also admire many cows, pigs and the farm dog.
A stop at the Mohorn outdoor pool provides refreshment in summer. If you wish, you can quickly change the season, because a few meters behind you will be immersed in the Christmas spirit, where you can visit the Knox Smoking Candle Museum.
The route also has something to offer geology fans: the open-air geological museum Porphyry Fan Mohorn-Grund. Here you can immerse yourself in the geological history of the region on an educational trail. Afterwards, the strenuous climb up to the Landberg awaits, but it is well worth it. An inn awaits at the top, offering a wonderful view of the surrounding region from its beer garden.
The route continues past many farms and country lanes worth seeing, where there are always opportunities to take a break, including at the large oak tree after Pohrsdorf, where there is a beautiful view back to the Landberg.
At the end of the route, there is a view of the former mill of Kaufbach, which adorns the town's coat of arms.
After arriving back in Wilsdruff, you should visit the town's sights, such as the local history museum, the historic locomotive hall, the town hall with its glass carillon and the Jakobi church. You can also stop for refreshments at the market in the surrounding restaurants or bakeries.
The route is suitable for touring bikes, e-bikes and gravel bikes and can also be ridden by road bike in dry weather.
