Rackwitz is located about 15 kilometres northeast of Leipzig and is known for its picturesque landscapes. The area is criss-crossed by numerous lakes, rivers and canals. The Dübener Heide nature reserve is a popular destination for nature lovers.

An absolute highlight in Rackwitz are the Schönfeld and Hartenfels castles. Both date from the 16th century and impress with their magnificent façades as well as ornate interiors. The Podelwitz moated castle is also worth a visit - today it houses a hotel-restaurant.

Culture enthusiasts should not miss the Museum Barockschloss Delitzsch: It displays an extensive collection of Baroque works of art as well as historical pieces of furniture.

For gourmets, Rackwitz also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the famous Leipziger Allasch or visit one of the traditional inns in the area, where regional specialities such as Sauerbraten or Quarkkeulchen are served.

If you like to be active, you can go hiking, cycling or do water sports here. It's especially nice in spring and summer at Lake Schladitz - here you can swim, sail or try stand-up paddling.

Even when the weather is bad, there's plenty to do in Rackwitz: The Sachsen-Therme leisure pool offers bathing fun for the whole family, while the Delitzsch cinema offers the latest blockbusters.

In summary, Rackwitz is definitely worth a visit! Everyone will find something to their taste here - be it pure nature, historic architecture or culinary delights. Where exactly is the most beautiful? That is up to you - discover the many facets of this region for yourself!

    Werbeliner See
    Das Naturschutzgebiet Werbeliner See ist ein einzigartiges Ausflugsziel. !ABER ACHTUNG - DER SEE IST KEIN BADESEE! Hier kann man entspannen, die Seele baumeln lassen und tolle Naturbeobachtungen machen. Zum Schutz der hier entstandenen Artenvielfalt ist in dem 1500 Hektar großen Schutzgebiet das Verlassen der Wege und folglich auch das Baden nicht erlaubt. Der naheliegende Schladitzer See ist eine gute Ausweichmöglichkeit für alle, die einen Ort für Wasser-Freizeitaktivitäten suchen. Das Gebiet zählt zu den größten und wichtigsten Naturschutzgebieten in Sachsen. Besondere Arten wie Wolf, Seeadler, Fischotter, Biber und vor allem eine bundesweit herausragende Vogelwelt haben sich hier angesiedelt. Über 500 Tier- und über 270 Pflanzenarten wurden bisher erfasst. Weitere Informationen und Exkursionsangebote unter: nsgwerbelinersee.de

    Sehr lehrreicher Wanderweg, leichte Höhenunterschiede lassen sich gut wandern, nicht zu schwer. Landschaftlich eine schöne Natur, die sich im laufe der Zeit sicherlich noch weiter gut entwickeln wird. Gut angelegte Pausenplätze, wo man seine Brotzeit machen kann.

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Zu 95% fährt man auf ordentlichen Radwegen, nicht auf der Straße. Mit GPX findet man sich gut zurecht, nach Karte ist es an zwei, drei Stellen schwierig. Die Strecke in Lützschena, Schkeuditz und hinter DHL ist ein bißchen langweilig, fährt sich aber gut.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour! Bin die Tour in knapp unter 2h gefahren mit dem Cyclocrosser! Wenn ich wieder mal in der Gegend bin steht die Tour auf Grund ihrer Vielfalt definitiv wieder auf dem Programm! Vielen dank dafür
