    Eine sehr schöne Waldwanderung. Auf den letzten 20% ist der Weg sehr zugewachsen.

    Landschaftlich schön, Wegführung ausbaufähig! Ich empfehle Karte oder App mitzunehmen. Der Weg ist nicht so gut ausgeschildert. Der rechtsseitige Teil der Wegführung ist, wie bereits erwähnt, nicht gut gemacht. Mindestens die Hälfte des Weges muss man auf dem nicht vorhandenen Seitenstreifen entlang einer gut befahrenen Landstraße laufen. Das macht keinen Spaß. Allerdings ist der linksseitige Teil und auch der Eichengrundweg im rechtsseitigen Teil zauberhaft und sowohl Leisnig als auch Kloster Buch bieten Entdeckungen und Einkehrmöglichkeit.

    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!
