Strocken is the starting point for the bike route through Gallschütz with its bicycle church and onward to Kloster Buch with the former Cistercian monastery St. Marien, which was first inhabited by monks in 1192. The Kloster Buch e.V. association founded in 1997 breathed new life into the old monastery walls after a long period of decay and offers guests historical tours where you can learn more about the life and work of the monks in spiritual and culinary terms. Also popular is the regional farmers market held on the second Saturdays from March to December. The town of Leisnig enchants with the charm of a medieval-looking old town. The Mildenstein Castle and the boot museum in Döbeln, with the world's largest gaiter boot, are worth a visit. The circular route ends back in Strocken via Polditz and Börtewitz.

Directions
The circular route starts in Strocken but can also be started from any other point. From Strocken, it goes via Mühlenberg to Gallschütz and further via Naunhof to Altenhof. Then you follow the path to the well-known Kloster Buch, where you can take a short break. After crossing the Freiberger Mulde, you cycle on via Paudritzsch to Leisnig. There, the route runs along the train station, past the hydropower plant and the impressive Mildenstein Castle. At the outskirts of Leisnig, a view of the impressive Red Porphyry Wall is also worthwhile before continuing your way towards Tragnitz.
