Cycling in the valley of castles and palaces between the Ore Mountains and the Elbe near Dessau is a bit of a challenge due to the numerous inclines – but it’s absolutely breathtaking! You have two river courses at your disposal for this landscape and cultural experience: the Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde. As they wind their way to the confluence, both valleys pass through charming little towns, impressive castles, and picturesque landscapes. And beyond Colditz, the impressive river makes its way through the Dübener Heide, enticing dusty cyclists with refreshing bathing pleasures at the Muldental reservoir.
