A pleasant part of the cycle route from Leipzig to Eilenburg runs from Wölpern on the former B87. Completely car-free, some of the old markings can still be seen. From the bike path bridge over the Halle-Cottbuser Bahn you have a beautiful panoramic view.

Beautifully located between fields you have a well-developed "bike path" to Eilenburg. The only drawback is that the barrier for the railway overpass is so narrow, since you have to be very careful here with bike trailers.

Great car-free connection between Eilenburg and Wölpern, with a free bike course through the narrow barriers.
