Discover romantic river landscapes with unique flora and fauna and cultural and historical treasures along the Mulde Valley hiking trail.
On the Mulde Valley hiking trail along the Freiberger and Vereinigte Mulde rivers, you will be fascinated by the extraordinary nature, which presents itself in a constant alternation of narrowness and expanse, silence and life. Typical alluvial landscapes and wetlands with a rich variety of flora and fauna have been preserved here. On the other hand, numerous cultural and historical sights in the nearby towns and villages characterize the landscape. Old town centers, mighty castles, magnificent palaces and a variety of museums provide an insight into the impressive history of Saxony's cultural landscape.
While the Freiberger Mulde flows through a hilly area with rugged cliffs until it joins its sister, the Zwickauer Mulde, the river becomes wider, more powerful, in places extensive and leisurely from the point of confluence. In spring and summer, lush meadows with an almost inexhaustible array of flowers resemble a park landscape created by nature. Consequently, hikes from Roßwein to Grimma are rather strenuous, from Trebsen to Bad Düben more relaxed.
