Round trip Saale, Lunzberge & Brachwitz Alps
Through the green hills
One of the most scenic tours is the one through the porphyry hills crossed by the Saale in the north-west of our city. The tour starts and ends at the market square and crosses the arms of the Saale through the greenery of the Peißnitz. To the left of the Saale, you cycle downstream through Kröllwitz, Lettin and the Unters Saaletal nature park as well as the Lunzberge mountains. At Brachwitz, take the ferry across to the other side of the river and follow the Saale back upstream through the Brachwitz Alps and Franzigmark. Towards the city centre, the route runs alongside the Bergzoos and Giebichenstein Castle close to the riverbank in the direction of Peißnitz and the historic old town. In Kleine Ulrichstraße or on the market square, you will find numerous opportunities to stop for a bite to eat and round off the tour.
