The picturesque Mulburg bridge, Wechselburg, was built between 1844 and 1846 from Rochlitz porphyry as a replacement for an old wooden bridge. In April 1945 a bridge yoke was blown up. A thorough reconstruction took place in 1995.

Varied round starting in the parking lot in Wechselburg.
You reach Rochlitzer Berg on well-developed and signposted forest paths. From the tower (1 € entrance fee - unfortunately the machine doesn't work properly, you have to help with your fist so that the coin slides...) good panoramic view over the Muldental, Rochlitz to the Erzgebirge and Leipziger Land. Restaurant at …

The Wechselburg Forest Adventure Trail had been in the planning stages for some time, and with a monastery, I was able to lure my favorite man to this remote corner of Saxony. The prospect of a late Romanesque basilica, which we then began our tour with, added further points. The cruciform pillar basilica was built in the 12th century and …

Another walk back home today. There's also a "high-bank path" along the beautiful Zwickauer Mulde ravine, which is a great walk.
The climb up to Rochlitzer Berg is quite challenging; but so is the view at Bellmanns Ruh!
The stairs up the Friedrich-August-Turm are recommended for a great view. It costs a €1 coin, though.
The shorter route back to …

Spring, Sunshine, Good Friends. What more do you want? That's right: a long day of hiking, of course. So hiking shoes 🥾 on and out into nature 🏞. This time it should be around the Rochlitzer Berg with a detour to the Wechselburg Castle. Relaxed 10 km with a break at the grill in between 😍
