View of Grimma and the Mulde River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Until 2008, the beautiful river Mulde even gave the surrounding district its name. Then the Muldentalkreis was merged with the Leipzig district.

Of course, hiking in the Muldental is still fantastic. Among other things, on this idyllic path.

Pöppelmann Bridge (Grimma)

Highlight • Bridge

If you had to choose between the concrete bridge and the baroque Pöppelmann Bridge, it would be clear.
It's a shame that such architecture no longer exists.
Great bridge with hollows and city views.

November 3, 2024,Klosterruine Nimbschen – Hängebrücke Grimma Runde von Grimma

A beautiful tour, Grimma surprised me in a positive way, in some places you can see how high the water was and how much money has been invested so that the next disasters will hopefully not be quite as bad. The forest has a great color and we had a really good meal in the water mill, they coordinate their …

Set off in the sunshine and arrived in Höfgen in thick fog. The sun didn't show up on the hike, but despite everything it was a wonderful tour 👍
The watermill in Höfgen is worth a visit!
