    Author’s recommendation

    Ride via Rudigsdorf to Gnandstein and visit Gnandstein Castle. There you also have connection options to the Altenburg-Colditz cycle route.

    In Kohren-Sahlis, a visit to the potter's fountain is worthwhile. In Geithain, the animal park as well as the underground passages in Geithain are attractions. Rochlitz Castle is also worth a visit.
