Starting at the hiking meeting point, hikers walk towards Meinitz. Along the Schanzenbach stream, the path leads past two of the seven watermills that once existed: Schanzenmühle (visits possible by prior arrangement) and Leithenmühle. Two ponds (Maschinenteich and Mühlenteich) invite you to observe nature, and hikers can linger at the rest area. The main road is crossed near the former customs mill. The path continues along the banks of the Mulde to Röda, over the Rosenberg to Gorschmitz and back to Leisnig.
