If you prefer to rely on public transport for the return journey, we recommend shortening the walk to about eight kilometres and hopping on the Bad Düben PlusBus 232 in Tornau.
Should you be out and about withoutkids in tow, then you may want to take on the full 30 kilometres of this premium-grade hiking route all the way to Bad Schmiedeberg. Be sure to leave yourselves plenty of time (8 or more hours) and bring plenty of provisions along on the journey.

If you would like to see places such as Höfgen Holiday Village and the Nimbschen Monastery Ruins, then you should take the circular trail from Grimma. This popular hiking route also provides fabulous views of the beautiful river Mulde. Our favourite is from the Rabenstein viewing platform.

Finally, it's worth taking a stroll through the town centre. Döbeln is almost an island, bordered on two sides by arms of the Freiberger Mulde river and with the corresponding nickname of "Town on the Island". Today, freshly restored and beautiful to behold, it is connected via eight bridges to the rest of Döbeln that has spread across the "mainland".
Experience the nostalgic feeling of riding on the old-fashioned, authentically restored Döbeln Horse Tramway which is the only one of its kind in Germany. It takes you through the town centre on a stretch of track about 1 km long. In the Town Hall, you can see the symbol of Döbeln – the nearly 100-year-old Döbeln giant boot. High up in the tower and in the loft of Döbeln Town Hall, you can also immerse yourself in the town's 1,000 years of history. After walking around the Town Museum, the 40-metre tower at the Town Hall offers a sweeping view over the rooftops of this town on the river Mulde.

If you sometimes can't see the woods for the trees, come and walk our Wood Trail. It really does go through the woods and look at the trees! In the village of Schmannewitz near Dahlen, our recommended route runs for three and a halfkilometres through the village and across Dahlen Heath with information on dendrological features such as the "Loving Oak" – entirely G-rated, of course.
And if you aren't familiar with the tricks of the Schildbürger pranksters, we also recommend a trip to Schildau. Detailed exhibits in the Schildbürger Museum tell of the pranks played by these extraordinary town residents and the funny things they did. The Prankster's Trail takes you to all the original locations. Don't forget to bring a spade and a sack so you can take home some rays of sunshine! ;)
The trail itself takes you to selected interesting objects relating to the local red porphyry stone at Porphyrland Geopark. Along the trail, 15 information points supply interesting and surprising facts about the Rochlitz porphyry. Besides insights into the stone quarries and the lives of the stonemasons, the origins of Rochlitz Hill and its porphyry are also covered. Our brochure offers a preview of the education trail. It contains exciting information, insights and facts all about the hill and the education trail and will definitely leave you wanting more. Our tip: bring the brochure along on your hike to make sure you have all the information you need while you are there.
And what could top an educational excursion to Rochlitz Hill? Beautiful viewpoints, of course! You can enjoy fantastic views from the panoramic vantage point opposite the steps to the Türmerhaus restaurant, as well as from the Friedrich-August Tower.
