The cycle paths in the Wermsdorf Forest are idyllic and interesting at the same time. This is a large, connected forest area that offers nature lovers space and silence and thus the best opportunities for relaxation. Between the towns of Wermsdorf and Oschatz, the Mulde-Elbe cycle route runs over an area that is also characterized by numerous ponds, extensive meadows and fertile fields on slightly hilly to flat land. The only prominent elevation is the Collmberg, which towers almost a hundred meters above the surrounding area.
To make things easier, more than half of the Döllnitztal cycle route, which connects the two towns via the southern cycle path, can be completed by train. The Döllnitzbahn, a narrow-gauge railway popularly known as "Wilder Robert", commutes between Oschatz, Mügeln and Glossen.

Directions
Döllnitztal cycle route:
Cyclists can choose to start their route in Wermsdorf at two locations. One starting point is the town center, the other is at Horstsee. In Wermsdorf, we recommend visiting Hubertusburg Castle as a notable sight.
After the town of Glossen, you have the first opportunity to interrupt or change your journey by boarding the Döllnitzbahn, a narrow-gauge railway that is popularly known as "Wild Robert". The railway runs between Oschatz and Mügeln, and once a day you can travel to Kemmlitz. The town is known for its kaolin mine, which supplies the raw material for the famous Meissen porcelain. The "Wild Robert" runs parallel to the intermediate and final stages of the cycle path to Oschatz. This means you can still board the narrow-gauge railway. The stops are easy to reach according to the map, although they deviate from the actual cycle path.
Secondary route Nebitzschen - Collm: The secondary route (about 8 km) should only be chosen in good weather and good visibility. The trip to Collm requires a lot of stamina because the path goes up and down. With its height of 312 meters and a relative height of between 100 and 150 meters compared to its flat surroundings, Collm is a landmark that can be seen from far away.
