Along the small river Parthe, the nearly 60 km long Parthe-Mulde cycle route runs between the cities of Leipzig and Grimma. As a connection between the Elster cycle path and the Mulde cycle path, the route offers an exciting sequence of different settlement and natural landscapes, including an extensive park network as a special feature. The species-rich Parthenaue holds, in addition to numerous idyllic parks, many other unexpected discoveries. Fascinating art objects and remarkable buildings from past centuries invite you to explore and linger.
Due to the low altitudinal differences, the Parthe-Mulde cycle route is especially suitable for families.
Author’s recommendation
A small detour to Kirchbruch Beucha is worthwhile, as it provided the base material for the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig.
By the way, a clear heart shape can be seen from a bird's-eye view.

Roadbook
The Parthe-Mulde cycle route mainly runs along the bank of the Parthe on paved or asphalted cycle paths through park landscapes and on quiet field or forest paths. In the cities, you mainly travel on marked, separate cycle paths and only rarely have to use lightly trafficked roads outside urban areas. The route is signposted and begins in Leipzig. It then leads via Taucha, Borsdorf, Beucha near Brandis, Naunhof and Parthenstein to Grimma.
The Parthe-Mulde cycle route connects the Elster cycle path with the Mulde cycle path.
