- Destination: Wurzen, city center
In Schildau you can follow in the footsteps of the legendary Schildbürger. There is the Schildbürger Museum, a Schildbürger playground and fountain, but also the Gneisenau Museum, which is well worth seeing, because this is where the famous von Gneisenau came from. From Schildau the path leads hikers through the beautiful Dahlen Heath towards Wurzen. On the route between the towns of Frauwalde and Heyda there are historical burial mounds that are still visible today. In Dornreichenbach the hiker can regain his strength with a delicious ice cream. Once in Wurzen, the historic old town, the possibility of visiting the cathedral and a historically interesting town museum await him. The Meissen bishops resided here in the 16th century, as evidenced by the bishop's castle, which is still very well preserved today. In 1542 Luther endeavoured to settle the "Wurzen Feud" and thereby helped to prevent a war.
