Mulde River Near Podelwitz

Highlight • River

A large number of imposing monasteries, palaces and castles do the honor along the Mulde. The beautifully restored moated castle Podelwitz with its striking appearance and lovely details in the area (from the rustic pigeon house, to garden bridges to the inviting open-air gastronomy, some of which is located under huge trees) fits in here without a gap.

Kössern Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Castle

The hunting lodge, built in the style of a large manor house around 1709 - often referred to as a hunting lodge - is considered an outstanding gem of baroque architecture in the Mulde valley. The architect was Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, chief court huntsman and elder minister in the cabinet of the Saxon Elector Friedrich August I and later King of Poland August II - known as "August the Strong".

The high mansard roof greets visitors from afar. The tightly structured, richly painted facade is in perfect harmony. The foyer on the ground floor was supported on both sides by four strong pillars to allow a view of the Great Garden. An extensive staircase, preserved in its original form, leads to the upper floor with a surprisingly stately ballroom, which is crowned with lavish stucco and a large ceiling painting.
Today, guided tours in historical costumes, concerts, events and rooms for weddings are offered. In addition, a tourist information point (outpost of the Grimma city information office) awaits you in the Kössern hunting lodge, which is located directly on the Mulde cycle path.

Großbuch Country Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice route to Bernbruch. The marked part is always in common with the south wind, because the wind is always picking up speed and you have to fight like climbing a mountain.

Pöppelmann Bridge (Grimma)

Highlight • Bridge

If you had to choose between the concrete bridge and the baroque Pöppelmann Bridge, it would be clear.
It's a shame that such architecture no longer exists.
Great bridge with hollows and city views.
