The Mulde Cycle Route

For over 400 km, the Mulde Cycle Route winds through a varied landscape rich in cultural treasures.

Shady forests, gentle hills, flower-filled Mulde floodplains and medieval small towns – with its three distinctive river branches, the long-distance cycle route along the Mulde invites you to enjoy extended tours. Witnesses to industrial heritage, as well as centuries-old forts and castles, are waiting to be discovered.

There are two ways to cycle the route from source to mouth: either start in Moldava, Czech Republic, in the Bohemian Ore Mountains, where the Freiberger Mulde rises, or in Schöneck in the Vogtland region, where the Zwickauer Mulde has its source.

Both source branches lead to Sermuth, where they merge to form the Vereinigte Mulde. From here, the riverside cycle route continues to the Bauhaus city of Dessau in Saxony-Anhalt, where the Mulde flows into the Elbe.
