View of Grimma and the Mulde River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Until 2008, the beautiful river Mulde even gave the surrounding district its name. Then the Muldentalkreis was merged with the Leipzig district.

Of course, hiking in the Muldental is still fantastic. Among other things, on this idyllic path.

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.

Set off in the sunshine and arrived in Höfgen in thick fog. The sun didn't show up on the hike, but despite everything it was a wonderful tour 👍
