Themed tours

The Mulde Cycle Route can be explored in many different ways. In addition to classic day stages and multi-day cycling trips, selected themed tours invite you to experience the landscapes along the Zwickauer Mulde, Freiberger Mulde, and Vereinigte Mulde from a very special perspective.

Whether you are interested in art, culture, and traditional crafts, would like to explore the Mulde Cycle Route on a road bike, or want to combine history and architecture with a cycling tour, the themed tours offer inspiration for varied excursions and individual cycling trips.

This makes the Mulde Cycle Route a new experience time and again – tailored to your interests, your pace, and your way of traveling.

The mostly flat and largely asphalted sections along the Zwickauer Mulde between Zwickau and Glauchau, as well as further on towards Rochlitz and Sermuth, are particularly well suited. Here, beautiful river landscapes combine with quiet roads and well-developed paths.

Along the Vereinigte Mulde, things become particularly relaxed from Wurzen onwards: Between Wurzen and Eilenburg, much of the route follows asphalted or surfaced paths, including a former railway line, through the wide floodplain landscape. The long, flat sections towards Bad Düben, Löbnitz, Bitterfeld-Wolfen and Dessau also make it easy to cover many kilometres at a steady pace.

The first sections along the Freiberger Mulde and the Zwickauer Mulde are particularly scenic, but hillier and in some places less suitable for road bikes. Here, depending on the surface and current conditions, it is advisable to bypass individual sections of the official route via asphalted roads.
