Short, not fully signposted but clear hiking route from the town of Eilenburg to the Bobritz Dam through the Mulde floodplain landscape.

The Bobritz Dam, which is also partly called the Kollau Weir, is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists and can be reached from Eilenburg City Park via the former planet hiking trail. Here, for over 300 years, the Mühlgraben has branched off from the Mulde. Both flow around Eilenburg city center like an island and then reunite. Not only the nature, but also the water management structure, which also has a fish ladder, is remarkable.
