The first stage of the Coal I Steam I Light cycle route begins in Bitterfeld-Wolfen and ends in the southern Leipzig Neuseenland. Lake Großstolpen offers a well-deserved cool-down after a long bike ride. Along the route, tangible milestones of industrial history, such as the Zschornewitz power plant or the Mining Technology Park, are strung together. If you want to spend a little longer in the region, you can cycle around the mining lakes, which almost doubles the distance.
The Coal I Steam I Light cycle route is very varied and consists mostly of asphalted cycle paths. On some short stretches, the route also takes you along natural paths.

Safety information
Please note that you are not allowed to leave the paths when passing the Werbeliner See nature reserve in order to protect biodiversity. Consequently, this lake is also not a bathing lake (the nearby Schladitzer See is an alternative). We kindly ask you to take this into account, thank you very much!
