The Baroque Delitzsch Palace is located in the northern Saxon town of Delitzsch and is one of the oldest palaces in northwestern Saxony. The building and adjacent garden area are integrated into the planned historic district, through which a main road runs south of the palace grounds. Consisting of a manor house, a small northwestern wing, and a larger northeastern wing, it was constructed and architecturally modified in several phases. Only the foundations of the original building, dating from the early 12th century, remain. Among the oldest surviving parts are two deep cellars and the tower, which the Margrave of Meissen, William I, had built starting in 1389. Built on the foundations of a Gothic moated castle, the complex served the Wettin dynasty as an administrative and travel residence from 1387 to 1540. Subsequently, the Dukes and Electors of Saxony had the castle converted into a Renaissance palace from 1540 to 1558 and lived there during their travels. The complex was last externally altered at the end of the 17th century, giving it its Baroque appearance. From then on, the Principality of Saxe-Merseburg used it as a widow's residence and a travel residence. After a phased restoration beginning in 1993, the Baroque Delitzsch Palace is now used as a museum, tourist information center, registry office, branch of the "Heinrich Schütz" District Music School of North Saxony, a concert hall, and a national event venue. This cultural monument is owned by the district town of Delitzsch. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Delitzsch

Nature reserve…swimming in the lake is prohibited

The Werbeliner See, located on the site of the former town of Werbelin, is an approximately 450 hectare open-cast mining lake that was created by flooding the former Delitzsch-Südwest open-cast mine. Filling was completed in 2008. The lake is located in the Saxon Lake District, south of the town of Delitzsch and north of Leipzig. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werbeliner_See

☆ Nice destination

The castle is the real highlight in Delitzsch. It is well restored from the outside and houses a museum inside.

Planted with beautiful hedges, you can switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet here.

Overall a nice cycle path, only in sections the surface resembles a wave track.
