From Rochlitz to Leisnig – Castles and palaces along the Mulde cycle path

Rochlitz Castle with its two towers, "Lichte Jupe" and "Finstre Jupe", was built to secure the victory over the West Slavs. Learn more about the history of the castle on a guided tour or by visiting the permanent exhibition. www.schloss-rochlitz.de

Colditz Castle not only tells a medieval story, but also of the escape attempts of Allied officers who were prisoners of war and were held in Colditz Castle between 1939 and 1945. The castle is also the venue for the "Colditz Classic", a series of classical concerts on the Blüthner grand piano. www.schloss-colditz.de
