The water hiking route between Wechselburg and Colditz surprises with a scenic diversity that many might not have expected in the Leipzig region.
Sometimes wild and romantic, sometimes calm and cozy, the Zwickauer Mulde flows past rock gorges, forests, idyllic floodplains, and magnificent castles. The paddle route Wechselburg – Rochlitz has become a real classic over time. The water tour is about 8 km long and rarely lasts longer than 2 hours. In summer, if the water level is low, it may happen that some need to get out of the boat. This route offers the best conditions for a project day/class trip or a rubber boat party with a subsequent barbecue package as a company event!
For the paddle route from Rochlitz to Colditz (14 km), plan about 4 – 6 hours. Two weir portages are necessary! This route is suitable if you plan a day trip.
