Bridge over the Neue Luppe

Highlight • Bridge

During the construction of the New Luppe, numerous tributaries of the White Elster and the Luppe were interrupted, the Old Luppe and the Luppe itself northeast of the Domholzschänke in the Neue Luppe. From the bridge you have a good view of the straightened course of the Neue Luppe in the middle of the floodplain forest.

Karl Heine Canal

Highlight • River

The Karl-Heine Canal is a 3.3 km long artificial waterway in the west of the city of Leipzig that connects the Lindenau harbor with the White Elster.

König-Albert-Brücke

Highlight • Bridge

The King Albert Bridge is one of 15 bridges that cross the Karl Heine Canal. However, you don't ride your bike over it, but rather through one of the three arches directly under the bridge.
Despite the graffiti, the bridge is a listed building because it is already 140 years old.
