Selected alternatives for you

    The Döllnitztal cycle route is directly connected to the adjacent Mulde-Elbe cycle route. The attraction of the tour is made not only by extraordinary sights but rather the beauty of nature. Of course, this tour can also be ridden in the reverse direction.

    The Döllnitztal cycle route leads from Wermsdorf through Mügeln to Oschatz, mostly on country roads and gravel cycle paths.
    Besides the main route, a side route from Mügeln via Nebitzschen to Collm is also possible, which, at 312 meters, is the highest elevation in the otherwise flat Heideland. If you have the desire, stamina, and good weather, this presents an attractive alternative!

    Roadbook

    The cyclist can choose the start of the route in Wermsdorf at two locations. One starting point is the town center, the other is at Horstsee. In Wermsdorf, a visit to Hubertusburg Castle is recommended as a prominent sight.

    After the town of Glossen, you have the first opportunity to interrupt or alter the trip by boarding the Döllnitz Railway, a narrow-gauge railway commonly known as "Wilder Robert."
    The railway shuttles between Oschatz and Mügeln; once daily, there is the option to ride all the way to Kemmlitz. The town is known for its kaolin pit, which supplies the raw material for the famous Meissen porcelain.
    The "Wilder Robert" runs parallel to the interim and final stages of the cycle path to Oschatz, so you can continue to board the narrow-gauge railway. The stops are easily reachable according to the map, deviating slightly from the actual cycle path.

    Side route Nebitzschen - Collm:
    The side route (about 8 km) should only be chosen in good weather and good visibility. The ride to Collm requires considerable stamina because the path goes up and down. Collm, at 312 meters high and with a relative height between 100 and 150 meters above its flat surroundings, is a widely visible landmark.
