The circular route begins at the Markkleeberg lake promenade. Here you have the opportunity to start a boat trip. The path leads from the lake promenade to the lower shore path, with the lake on the right-hand side always in view. Especially at sunset there are great views over the lake, towards the sun. On the straight south the path leads past the Markkleeberg Geopfard, with several stations. After the Auenhain beach, the Markkleeberg canoe park is already in sight. You pass this on the Wildwasserkehre path, slightly uphill, and continue right at the Zum Wildwasser junction. On your left is the impressive and unmissable mining technology park. Before crossing the Störmthaler Canal, the stone adventure site is on the left. The route takes you further along the Zum Wildwasser path until you reach the An der Crostewitzer Höhe junction on the right. You are now in the Crostewitzer Höhe, on your left you pass an information board and finally a bison pasture. The path branches off to the right onto Zur Göselmündung and then turns right again to the west side of Lake Markkleeberg. Turning right again, you will come to the final stretch at the Markkleeberger See adventure playground, the Markkleeberg-Ost lido and finally back to the lake promenade. The circular hiking trail is asphalted and can be walked at a leisurely pace.
