Circular hike Rochlitz - Rochlitzer Berg - Sörnzig

This circular route combines history, industrial culture, and pure nature. From the "An der Bleiche" car park, the path leads over the market and through the impressive castle courtyard of Rochlitz Castle (within opening hours). On the red-marked Rudolf-Zimmermann-Weg, it goes up to Rochlitzer Berg. The ascent is rewarded at the Friedrich-August Tower with panoramic views from Leipzig to the Ore Mountains.

The descent follows the Wechselburger Walderlebnispfad towards Sörnzig. A real highlight at the forest edge is the walk-in wooden cube "Bellmanns Ruh'", which offers a magnificent panorama over the Mulde valley. Upon arriving in the village of Sörnzig, we pass the swing bridge and follow the green marking downstream. The relaxed return route runs directly along the Zwickauer Mulde. Below the striking castle walls, the route goes over the castle island and its recreational area back to the starting point. A perfect tour for hikers who want to experience a fascinating combination of culture, nature, and geology between the Rochlitzer Berg and idyllic river course.
