Geographically, Mittweida is located about 20 kilometres northwest of Chemnitz and 50 kilometres southeast of Leipzig. Surrounded by rolling hills, forests and lakes, the region is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports.

Tourist highlights include Mittweida Castle with its impressive baroque garden and the historic market square with its charming half-timbered houses. The Technikum Museum also invites you to visit - here you can gain exciting insights into the history of the textile industry.

Culture enthusiasts should make a detour to the theatre in Mittweida or visit one of the many concerts that take place regularly. In summer, the town festival "Mitti macht Musik" (Mitti makes music) also attracts thousands of visitors.

Those who like good food will not be disappointed in Mittweida either: From hearty Saxon specialities to international dishes, there is something to discover here for every taste.

Even when the weather is bad, no one has to miss out on their leisure activities: The AQUAmarien adventure pool offers bathing fun for young and old, or you can visit the "Filmpalast Astoria" cinema and be entertained by the latest blockbusters.

It is particularly beautiful in Mittweida in spring, when nature awakens to new life, or in autumn, when the forests shine in colourful hues. But the region also has its charm in winter - when it snows, cross-country skiing trails and toboggan slopes invite you to enjoy yourself.

In total, Mittweida offers a wealth of possibilities for a varied holiday. If you are looking for a charming destination far away from mass tourism, you should definitely take a look at this travel guide!

    Diese Tour kann ich nur weiterempfehlen und ist einer der schönsten, die ich bislang in Sachsen gemacht habe. Viel Abwechslung, tolle Aussichtspunkte und auch mit Hunden geeignet. Sowohl Mensch als auch Hund sollten jedoch trittsicher sein, da die Wege zum Teil eng werden und es auch mal 20 Meter in die Tiefe zum Wasser geht. Hinweis: achtet darauf, ob die Fähren fahren. Wir sind einen Umweg über die Burg Kriebstein gegangen und am Ende waren es 22km. Der gezwungene Abstecher war es aber absolut wert. Traumhafter Rundweg!

    Schöne Tour! Wegen einer Fahrradpanne kurz hinter dem Fichtelberg musste wir von Oberwiesenthal nach Chemnitz per Zug fahren, so dass wir diesen Teil nicht erleben durften. Am nächsten Tag sind wir dann die Strecke von Chemnitz über Flöha bis nach Döbeln gefahren (von dort aus dann noch nach Riesa). Das was wir gesehen haben ist wirklich sehr schön, vor allem landschaftlich. In vielerlei Hinsicht bekommt man auch noch die Blütezeit der sächischen Industrialisierung zu spüren, und Burgen gibt es auch reichlich. Wie in der Beschreibung schon angekündigt, ist die Strecke oberhalb von Flöha nur noch schlecht ausgeschildert. Mit Navi oder Karte geht es aber. Für die Auffahrt auf den Fichtelberg empfehlen wir nicht die Himmelsleiter, sondern den Philosophenweg. Runter geht es dann am besten über den (sehr steilen) Reitsteig.
