Situated between Leipzig and Dresden, Großweitzschen is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The town itself is known for its historic buildings such as Wechselburg Castle or the St. Marien town church. The local history museum also offers an interesting insight into the history of the region.

For culture enthusiasts, a visit to the annual art and craft market or the Christmas market in the castle courtyard is recommended.

Culinary delights can be experienced with regional specialities such as Leipzig Allerlei or Saxon potato dishes.

Outdoor activities are also popular here: hike through the Erzgebirge-Vogtland Nature Park or explore the surroundings by bike along the Mulde Valley Cycle Path. In summer, the open-air swimming pool on the outskirts of the village is also a great place to swim and relax.

And what to do on rainy days? How about a visit to the indoor playground "Bambino World" or a guided tour of the Oederan Mining Museum?

Whether spring awakening, summer heat, golden autumn or snowy winter landscape - it's always beautiful in Großweitzschen!

    Sehr gut ausgeschilderte, schöne Strecke, in der Baumblütezeit traumhaft. Wir sind diese Route und die Obstland-Route 1 zusammen als Familiensonntagsausflug gefahren

    Heute einen Teil der Tour (eine Kombination aus Teilroute I und II) gemacht. Leider weicht die ausgeschilderte Route bereits nach wenigen Metern von der hier herunterladbaren gpx ab und führt über über die Mulde nach Fischendorf und dann wieder nach Tragnitz zurück. Nach Ablaß in Querbitzsch fehlt die Beschilderung. Die Route führt kurz hier nach dem Ortseingang durch einen Hof und war nicht begehbar. (Wir haben aber einen Umweg gefunden.) Trotzdem eine schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde auf wenig befahrenen Straßen und ruhigen gut ausgebauten Feld und Waldwegen!
