The hike starts at the train station in Eilenburg. Heading south-east out of the town, you cross the railway tracks and hike a bit along the Mehlgraben. The path continues south to the fork of the Mühlgraben and the combined Mulde. The path then continues north again along the Mulde, passing the Eilenburg public garden. After crossing the railway tracks again, you make a circuit through the town of Eilenburg until you start the return journey to the train station.
