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. Experience art,  culture & crafts ------------------------------------- The Mulde Cycle Route has much to offer culturally in the **sections from Colditz to Bitterfeld-Wolfen**. Not only lovingly restored medieval towns invite you to linger, but the **history of the castles and palaces** can also be experienced actively. At Mildenstein Castle, visitors can search for the "Treasure of the One-Eyed Man" during an interactive **treasure hunt with an escape room**. At Colditz Castle, **concerts** are organised as part of the **"Colditz Classic" event series**, while at Rochlitz Castle, visitors can experience the history of the “forgotten Wettins” in an **interactive exhibition**. Children will also have plenty to enjoy on these tours – playgrounds, ferries and mills provide the basis for a **varied family experience**. ### The tours - - Discover the Mulde by Road Bike ------------------------------- The Mulde Cycle Route also offers a variety of options for road cyclists: from **challenging climbs in the Vogtland and Ore Mountains** **to long, flat miles in the Mulde floodplains**. As the official cycle route partly follows gravel, forest, or unpaved paths, our road bike recommendations partly run **on paved, low-traffic roads near the route**. This allows you to experience the landscapes along the Mulde in a sporty way on surfaces suitable for road bikes. ### Which sections of the route are recommended for road biking? Brücke am Mulderadweg zwischen Aue und Wolfsgrün 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. - The Mulde  near Dessau ---------------------- The **World Heritage Region of Anhalt-Dessau-Wittenberg** combines exceptional culture, impressive landscapes and relaxing cycling. Along the Mulde River and around Dessau-Roßlau, a variety of themed tours invite you to discover Bauhaus architecture, historic parklands and the natural beauty of the Dübener Heide on two wheels. The **Bauhaus Cycle Tour** takes you to significant sites in Bauhaus history, while the **Garden Kingdom Tour Prince Franz** brings the unique palaces, gardens and landscapes of the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Kingdom to life. Those wishing to focus on nature and relaxation can follow the Mulde River on a varied tour to the **Heathland Magnet Bad Düben**. ### Tour Recommendations
