    The Leipzig-Plagwitz–Pörsten railway line ran from Leipzig-Plagwitz via Lützen to Rippach-Poserna (Pörsten station), where it connected to the Großkorbetha–Deuben line. It was closed in 1999.

    After the tracks were dismantled, a fantastic, approximately 10 km long, fully paved cycle path was created.

    Very flat. Light traffic on weekdays. The surface is uneven. Partially very sheltered from the wind.
