Cycling

The former lowland castle, in its function as a city fortress, was located in the northeastern part of Zwickau's old town, just a few dozen meters from the Zwickauer Mulde River. A pronounced moat and high walls, which were still standing until the 19th century, suggest that the castle was originally built as a moated castle.
