One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Rochlitz leads along the Zschopau River. This idyllic trail stretches for several kilometres and offers breathtaking views of the riverbank as well as the impressive Rochsburg Castle, a medieval castle perched high on a rock. This tour is perfect for families with children as it is relatively easy to manage and offers many interesting stops along the way.

Another highlight among the hikes in Rochlitz is the "Zschopautal hiking trail".

    Schöne, entspannte Tour, insbesondere während der Herbstfärbung. Auch geeignet für Hunde :) Die Dörfer waren sehr hübsch, ein bisschen wie aus der Zeit gefallen. Allerdings wirkten sie zu dem Zeitpunkt, wo ich unterwegs war, sehr "leer". Kaum ein Mensch auf der Straße, nur Wanderer. Die meisten Lokale (viele sind es nicht) waren zu. Aber die Naturpfade waren wirklich wunderschön!

    Sehr schöne Landschaft, nicht zu anspruchsvoll, aber man kommt stellenweise schon ins Schwitzen. Zeit passt absolut nicht: wir haben als mäßig geübte Familie mit 2 größeren Kindern 3:15 h gebraucht- ohne Pause.

    Super sowohl für Kinder als auch Hund. Hin und wieder fehlen Wegweiser. Dennoch haben wir es zum Ausgangspunkt geschafft.

    Diese Tour ist super mit Kindern und Hund . Eine entspannte Wanderung zur Burg Rochlitz in der man einkehren kann. Bei hohen Temperaturen gibt es entlang der Mulde reichlich Stellen um sich zu erfrischen oder zu baden. Ein Besuch der Burg ist ebenfalls gegen ein kleines Entgeld möglich.

    Schöne Runde zunächst Schotter dann Pfad nach Fischheim dann Asphalt das zieht sich ziemlich dafür 1 Stern Abzug. Beide Kirchen in Wechselburg sind sehenswert. Nach dem Schloss Rochlitz geht parallel ein Fußweg weiter, man muss nicht die Straße nehmen. Für den Turm braucht man 1€ Münzen.

    Wunderschöne Tour durch den Wald und an der Mulde entlang. Optional kann man noch entlang der Mulde bis nach Rochlitz wandern. Sehr gute Beschilderung.
