Geographically, Groitzsch is about 25 kilometres south of Leipzig. The town itself is located on the edge of the Leipzig Neuseenland and borders the idyllic landscape of the Dübener Heide. A perfect combination of nature and city experiences!

One of the most famous sights in Groitzsch is Pückler-Limpurg Castle. It was built in the 18th century and today houses a museum as well as various events such as concerts or weddings.

Culturally interested visitors should also make a detour to the Protestant church, which can be seen from afar with its striking tower. Church services are held here regularly, as well as music events or art exhibitions.

For outdoor activities, cycling tours through the Leipziger Neuseenland region or hikes through the surrounding forests are the best options. In summer, you can also go swimming in the nearby lakes or take part in water sports.

For those who prefer a more leisurely approach, you can embark on a culinary voyage of discovery: Many restaurants serve regional specialities, for example sauerbraten with dumplings or Leipziger Allerlei.

Even if it should rain, there is plenty to do in Groitzsch: The Riff leisure pool offers bathing fun for the whole family and in the town museum you can find out about the history of the town.

All in all, Groitzsch is a destination with a lot of charm and variety. Visitors should definitely take a look at the events calendar, as various events take place here throughout the year - from the Christmas market to the summer festival. A travel guide for every taste!

    war doch gar nicht schlecht! in und um Borna noch etwas Optimierungsbedarf. Wenn man am WE die Route fährt kann man überall entspannt fahren. Am Cospudener See sind bei schönem Wetter wie immer die Rücksichtslosen unterwegs, also Obacht! TIPP: lecker Eis im Eiscafé di Lago in Großstolpen https://youtu.be/_RzbDCaNldI?si=QkftCetXPJCZUSJ6

    Grundsätzlich eine schöne Gegend und auch gute Runde. Wie schon zuvor bemerkt, ist der Routenverlauf allerdings teilweise etwas unübersichtlich. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass im Netz verschiedene Varianten kursieren. So sind wir mit einer GPX, entgegen der hier präsentierten Version, um das Speicherbecken Borna drum rum gefahren und so auf etwas über 100km gekommen. Wenn diese Fragezeichen noch beseitigt werden, lohnt sich der Abstecher in die Region aber allemal.
