The route starts on the Freiberger Mulde, with a view of the beautiful Mildenstein Castle. Without annoying portage, you can paddle all the way to Grimma. The Freiberger Mulde has a lot to offer: small rapids and gravel bars (observe nature conservation) alternate with calmly flowing water. The Podelwitz water castle is a resting place for water hikers, cyclists, car and motorcycle travelers. There is a choice of gastronomy or snack. In Sermuth, the Freiberger and Zwickauer Mulde merge into the united Mulde. Various water birds can be observed, accompanying you on the river all the way to Grimma. Towards the end of the paddling route, you pass the ferry to Höfgen, with the ship mill to the right and the Nimbschen monastery to the left. On the last 3 km, paddlers meet the ships of the Mulde shipping, which always have the right of way!" language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2905683/71a2520a0dcf63b15ae54a35805e96db75fdc6993e7e8de04097aeefc2567289/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Leipzig Travel > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share On the Freiberger Mulde and United Mulde (inflatable boat tour) =============================================================== - 21.44 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Great panorama - Canoe - 5:00 h - 21.44 km - 19 m - 125 m - 144 m - 19 m - - Start: Grimmaer Straße, 04703 Leisnig OT Fischendorf (boat launching site Mulde bridge) - Destination: Colditzer Weg, 04668 Grimma (landing stage after suspension bridge) Monasteries, castles, and the impressive Mildenstein Castle shape the river section of the Mulde, popular with paddlers, between Leisnig and Grimma.
