Mulde Bridge (B100) near Pouch

Highlight • Bridge

Two larger source rivers, the longer Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, flow together in Sermuth, north of Colditz, and form the Mulde. After 147 km it flows into the Elbe at Dessau-Roßlau.

April 29, 2025,Wanderung Muldestausee

Today was a little practice for the 7 Lakes hike on Friday. I had chosen a loop around the Muld Reservoir. Unfortunately, roadworks made it impossible to access the hiking car park 😒 so I looked for a parking space in the next town (Pouch) and started from there. The paths around the reservoir are very beautiful; you can always …

July 5, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Sachsen-Anhalt" - See-Nr. 3: Muldestausee

One week after the Cologne Trail, this is a slightly shorter route: 17 km around Saxony-Anhalt's third-largest lake, the Mulde Reservoir.
As the name suggests, the Mulde River is dammed here before it flows into the Elbe.
This lake is a residual pit from the Muldenstein open-cast lignite mine, which was active from 1954 to 1975. After that, this …

November 27, 2022,Mulde – Muldestausee Runde von Muldestausee

Very relaxed round... and that's exactly what I felt: no people 🤭 Well... it was 3 after all.... I was surprised by the weather, but I wasn't angry about it. Enjoyed a lot of rest.... only the fairly clear and freshly existing wild boar tracks made me feel a bit uncomfortable. But in itself a round with potential for repetition …

Yes, the path runs very close to the lake. However, it is often so overgrown that you almost need a machete... That's a shame. Otherwise, the path is very varied and easy to walk.

So far the most beautiful of the lake circuits according to the challenge. But then comes the Rappbode Dam.

May 12, 2024,Muldestausee🚶‍♀️🎒

Unfortunately, this is my last lake in this area 🤷‍♀️. The "paths" are mostly nature trails and the route was pure nature again 😊👌. Sometimes I hoped that the path would continue 😖 and it almost always did - when I stood in front of a game fence, I quickly found a footpath around it 😉. This discovery route is …
