The route through the north of Leipzig leads through several parks and is therefore very scenic. For a section of the route, the Luther Trail runs together with the Ecumenical Pilgrimage Trail. You can therefore follow both trail markings. After Leipzig, the route goes over river meadows and through small villages to the town of Eilenburg. Luther stayed in Eilenburg several times between 1518 and 1545. His route also took him through Eilenburg for the disputation in Leipzig in 1519 and for the introduction of the Reformation in 1539.
