The south of Wilsdruff offers varied paths with lots of discovery potential for young and old.
The bike route "Around Wilsdruff" is a beautiful route through the south of the Wilsdruff region.
The route runs over beautiful bike paths of the former narrow-gauge railway, on which steam locomotives ran on narrow-gauge tracks until 1974, but which are now ideal for discovery trips by bike.
At the beginning, you leave the city center and pass numerous fields a few meters away, which are in full rapeseed bloom in spring, ride through tree-lined avenues and finally also through forests. The Triebisch river accompanies the beginning of the route and is crossed again and again over small wooden bridges.
There are some worthwhile detours along the route, including the Limbach manor, which is near the route. For refreshment and grocery shopping, the Flade farm with milk vending point directly on the route provides, where many cows, pigs, and the farm dog can also be admired.
For refreshment in summer, a stop at the Mohorn outdoor pool provides refreshment. The season changes quickly on request, because a few meters behind you immerse in Christmas atmosphere, here there is the possibility to visit the Knox incense museum.
For geology fans, the route also has something to offer: the Porphyr fan geological open-air museum Mohorn-Grund. Here you dive into the geological history of the region with an educational trail. Afterwards, the strenuous climb to the Landberg awaits but is rewarded. At the top, a guesthouse awaits, which offers a wonderful view over the nearby region in the beer garden.
The route continues past many worth-seeing farms and field paths, where there are always opportunities to rest, such as at the large oak after Pohrsdorf, where there is a beautiful view back to the Landberg.
At the end of the route, the view of the former mill in Kaufbach, which adorns the coat of arms of the village, awaits.
After returning to Wilsdruff, you should visit the sights of the town, for example, the local history museum, the historic locomotive hall, the town hall with glass carillon, or the Jakobikirche. A refreshment directly at the market is also possible in the surrounding restaurants or bakeries.
The route is suitable for touring bikes, e-bikes, and gravel bikes and can be ridden with a racing bike when dry.
