The Eilenburg Mühlgraben is a 700-year-old, artificially created canal that winds its way right through the historic old town of Eilenburg.
The 10-kilometer-long Eilenburg Mühlgraben can either be included in a water hiking route from Wurzen or paddled directly as a circular route.
As there are tree obstacles and chutes along the way, paddlers should have some experience.
04808 Thallwitz OT Kollau, near Kollauer dam (right bank) or 04838 Jesewitz OT Groitzsch, Muldenstraße (left bank)
04838 Eilenburg, Torgauer Bridge / Ziegelstraße
Before the Kollauer dam, turn left into the Mühlgraben. Please note the strong current as well as the tree obstacles and behave quietly due to the very sensitive natural area.
About 500 meters after the distinctive blue Mühlgraben arch bridge, you will find a landing possibility on the right bank at the premises of the Eilenburg rowing club.
Paddle further along the Mühlgraben and keep right after the road bridge until it flows into the main Mulde river. Here the nature reserve begins.
For landing, please keep strictly right and paddle about 200 meters back up the Mulde (upstream) to the landing site on the western bank. The exit point is located in Eilenburg below the Ziegelstraße road bridge on the left bank.
Eilenburg: S-Bahn, train, bus
