The origins of the town of Leisnig are closely related to Mildenstein Castle, which was built in the 10th century. The castle is one of the oldest complexes in Saxony. The first documented mention of the …

Today, in almost spring weather, I took one of the circular routes around Leisnig. Some of it is even signposted. Unfortunately, the Buch Monastery and Mildenstein Castle were still in winter break. A great tour, especially with the sun 🌞

The last broadcast "artour" reported on the "Kulturbahnhof Leisnig". Four international musicians bought the old station building, started renovating the interior and saved the building from deterioration.
So the idea arose to take a walk on the Freiberg Mulde. After the tour of Mildenstein Castle, with a beautiful all-round view from the keep, we went through Leisnig, the Eichgrund and …

We just forgot to take …

I've walked another section of the Luther Trail. I'm slowly getting the urge to walk all of these trails. The forests are beautiful for relaxing and exploring.

A wonderful route above the Freiberg Mulde to Klosterbuch. There was a farmer's market there today with all kinds of stalls. So for the physical well-being was taken care of.
The way back also led through the forest on the other side of the Mulde back to Leisnig. Young people are breathing new life into the old station. Kulturbahnhof 👍
