What makes the town of Leisnig particularly attractive is the 1.000-year-old Mildenstein Castle, which towers majestically above the Freiberger Mulde and offers an excellent view of the beautiful Mulde valley. On the north bank of the river, circular hiking trail no. 3 leads over the Riedelsteig to Buch Monastery. It is worth taking a tour of the former Cistercian monastery of Buch before returning via Paudritzsch. Along the Wallbach, nature lovers can admire plants and trees on the forest nature trail, which are explained by signs. Various bird species, such as woodpeckers and little owls, nest in tree hollows and knotholes.
