Luther Trail Saxony from Rochlitz to Penig

The trail starts in Rochlitz at the market square, crosses Burgstraße towards the river and then continues along the western bank of the river to Katzenstein. Here it turns right into the forest, where it meets the Muldental hiking trail along the Zwickauer Mulde. It follows this until it reaches Heuweg, where it turns right and runs along Carsdorfer Straße. It then turns left again, runs along the Söllichaubach stream and rejoins the Muldental hiking trail along the Zwickauer Mulde. Follow this to the S242 and then continue in a south-westerly direction to the village of Corba. Continue south to Göhren, where you cross the Zwickauer Mulde. Once again, the trail follows the Mulde Valley hiking trail to Lunzenau, where the river is crossed again. Then follow the path south to Rochsburg and turn west towards Arnsdorf and Amerika. The route now follows the Amerikaweg along the river to Penig. At the end of Lunzenauer Straße, you cross the Zwickauer Mulde once again and reach the Mühlgraben/corner of Brückenstraße.
