    Roadbook

    The route starts in Torgau at the well-known Hartenfels Castle right on the Elbe. On Schlossstraße, the path leads past the marketplace by the Bürgermeister-Ringenhain-Haus to "Friedrichplatz." Then you pass the Torgau district hospital as well as Fort Zinna castle before leaving Torgau and reaching Süptitz via Zinna. The bike path continues through the Düben Heath Nature Park, which impresses with magnificent pine groves and extensive mixed forest areas. Along the way, the villages of Weidenhain, Roitzsch, Pressel, and Authausen are passed before you reach the spa town of Bad Düben. At Bad Düben castle, the bike path crosses the Mulde bridge and then continues right along the United Mulde to Löbnitz. South of Seehausener Lake, the route finally continues via Benndorf to Delitzsch.
