description: "The Ketzerbachtalweg begins in the town of Nossen and leads through the picturesque Ketzerbach Valley to Leuben. Right at the start of the tour, you’ll see the impressive Pöppelmann Bridge, originally built in 1715 and located below Nossen Castle, which in turn traces its origins back to a 12th-century fortress. Once you’ve crossed the bridge over the Freiberger Mulde, you’ll find the historic Volksbad on your left, which offers a welcome chance to cool off in the summer. As you continue on, you’ll leave the city behind and immerse yourself in the peaceful countryside of the Ketzerbach Valley. In Radewitz, it’s worth taking a detour to the Radewitzer Höhe. After a short climb, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view of the Elbe region. You can also visit the monumental tomb of a local farming family, which offers an interesting glimpse into regional history. The route continues to Raußlitz, known for its church and the former manor estate with its charming manor house. These historic buildings invite you to take a short break and explore. In Ziegenhain, a visit to the historic fortified church is highly recommended. Further along, the route passes the Graupziger Niedermühle mill and the impressive 300-year-old oak tree in the forest right next to the Ketzerbach stream. The tour then continues to its final destination in Leuben. Right at the entrance to the town, another highlight awaits— the local train station. Here, the locals have worked together to breathe new life into the old station and regularly host events and concerts, including a former steam locomotive in the garden that evokes a sense of nostalgia and makes for a great photo opportunity. St . Mary’s Church in Leuben is open to visitors, and Schleinitz Castle, about 2 km away, is also worth a detour."
