Lutherweg Sachsen from Neukieritzsch to Leipzig

The path starts on Bornaer Strasse and then turns right into the old Poststrasse. Then it goes along Schulstrasse and crosses the Pleiße on Kahnsdorfer Weg. The Lutherweg now follows the Pleiße cycle path for a while. Then it goes east to Kahnsdorf and from there north between Kahnsdorfer See and Hainer See. Leave the Rötha reservoir on your left and continue north on Kreudnitzer Strasse into Rötha. Here the path leads via Dürerstrasse and Marienstrasse to the town hall. Past the church it goes across Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Platz into the Volkspark, which you cross to the north. Here you turn left into Böhlener Strasse until you reach Bischofsweg, which you follow to the end. Then do not turn into Straße des Aufbau, but continue straight along the Pleiße. The path crosses this and leads into Waldstrasse. From there, the route continues north, parallel to the Pleiße, and from Böhlen also parallel to the railway tracks through Probstdeuben and Debitzdeuben. In Debitzdeuben, you walk along Straße des Friedens to Feldstraße, where you turn left. You then follow the marked route, cross the A38 to the north over a bridge and continue north through a forest area to the town of Markkleeberg. Here you come out at Zöbigker Hafen and walk along the banks of Lake Cospuden, through Kees'schen Park and Equipagenweg into the last forest section before Leipzig. You continue along Equipagenweg, which runs straight north, until you see the river "Pleiße" on your left, along whose banks you continue towards the town. You can already see the first allotments on the way. At Schleußiger Weg, the Pleiße flows into the Elster flood bed. From there, you continue along the river towards the north. At Rennbahnweg, leave the river and turn left through Clara Zetkin Park until you reach the roundabout on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße. Follow Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße until you reach the New Town Hall and from there, walk across Burgplatz to St. Thomas Church.
