With the fifth daily stage, the Mulde cycle path is coming to an end. Following the river closely, we discover a series of cultural-historical and scenic highlights. We calmly pass through the monastery meadows near Döbeln and admire the old Cistercian monastery Buch and the picturesque Mildenstein Castle in Leisnig. At the end of the route, the Freiberger Mulde and the Zwickauer Mulde converge and unite into a mighty stream. Nearby is Podelwitz Castle, which also attracts many visitors with its magnificent and extensively restored estate.
The Freiberger Mulde cycle path ends at the confluence of the Mulde rivers. Now it is up to you whether you want to follow the Zwickauer Mulde from here to its source. If you want to discover fauna and flora, towns, and villages along the "United Mulde", follow the route now to Dessau. There the Mulde flows into the Elbe.

The starting point of this stage is the roundabout in the city center. We head north into Klosterstraße and turn left into Staupitzstraße. At the end, we cross Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße and continue straight past the swimming pool parallel to the Mulde. Here we turn left and follow the river course for 1.5 kilometers. We first pass under a railway bridge, then turn left and continue under the B 175. After the road bridge, we turn right and immediately left behind the mill ditch. At the priority road, we turn left again and continue straight over the B 169. From now on, we go straight ahead, with the river to our left. After 3 kilometers in Technitz at the priority road, continue straight. After another 1.5 kilometers, we pass under the railway tracks again at Bischofswiese and then turn left again immediately. In Westewitz, at the T-junction, we turn left over the tracks and immediately right again. We follow the course of Scheergrundweg for 3.5 kilometers and turn left at the waterworks, then after another 2.5 kilometers, we can admire the former Cistercian monastery Buch after crossing the railway underpass once more to the left. The route continues along the Freiberger Mulde to Paudritzsch, here we keep right at the fork and then close to the river. We come directly past the station in Leisnig, then keep right and cross the railway tracks again onto the street An Der Muldenwiese. We come to the S 36, turn left here, and immediately after the railway bridge, sharply to the right. We keep to the railway tracks and turn right 100 meters behind the church onto Fabrikstraße crossing the tracks. Then we pass under the main street on the right, follow the path, and take the following turn right towards Altleisnig. In Altleisnig, we cross the Mulde bridge and then immediately turn left through Wiesenthal and Marschwitz. At the end of Marschwitz, we take the left turn along the Freiberger Mulde. We pass under a railway bridge again and keep close to the river course on our left for 2.5 kilometers until we reach Tanndorf. On the opposite side of the river, we see Podelwitz water castle. At the intersection in Maaschwitz, we turn left. After a further 2.5 kilometers along the dike path through Erlln, we reach a T-junction.
