This is the last section along the Zwickauer Mulde with a total length of 16.6 km.
The last section of the route along the Zwickauer Mulde invites you to enjoy the varied landscape as well as cultural discoveries. We are rewarded at the end of the route with the confluence of the two arms of the Mulde to form the Vereinigte Mulde.
The route is mostly on paved paths and roads with little traffic. Due to its flat terrain and length, this section is also ideal for short day trips.
Mulde bridge on the Uferstraße in Rochlitz
Confluence of the Zwickauer and Freiberger Mulde rivers near Sermuth
The starting point is the Mulde bridge on Uferstraße in Rochlitz, very close to the swimming pool. We turn onto the path below the bridge on the left-hand side of the Mulde and head north. We follow the path close to the bank for one kilometer, turn left and pass through the allotment gardens. Before we reach the main road, we turn right into Klinkbornweg. At the next fork in the road, take the asphalt road to the left and follow it to the next T-junction. Turn left here, right at Bahnhofsplatz and then immediately right again. After 400 meters, the road turns into a path, which we follow straight ahead under the tracks and over the hollow until we reach Penna. After entering the town, we turn left onto Am Ring and follow the winding road, straight ahead through Kralapp and left at the next priority road towards Colditz. In Colditz, we take the second exit straight ahead at the traffic circle and immediately turn left. We follow Schulstraße and turn right towards Untermarkt. We are now in the center of Colditz with a view of the historic castle. We continue north below the castle and turn left at the fork. The road now leads us to Kleinsermuth, 3 kilometers away. We cross the main road straight ahead and after 200 meters we have the opportunity to turn into the characteristic Muldenweg, at the end of which we can see the confluence of the Zwickauer and Freiberger Mulde rivers.
Bicycle helmet, rain and sun protection, provisions and water, bicycle lights in the dark.
This section of the route also offers cultural highlights, and a stopover at the two majestic castles of Rochlitz and Colditz is well worthwhile.
