Directions
- This hike starts at the church in Hirschfeld, first mentioned in 1214. Beyond Mühlweg you leave the place, which is a district of Reinsberg and belongs to the Altzella monastery district, and very soon you reach the Freiberger Mulde, which is crossed somewhat later. After passing under the motorway A4, the path continues via Eichholzgasse to Nossen. From there you follow the Muldental hiking trail past the Altzella monastery ruins to the river crossing at Burgmühle. Here the Lutherweg Sachsen splits from the Muldental hiking trail to make a detour to the church in Gleisberg. Both trails meet again in Wolfstal and continue together through wooded areas and the village Gersdorf to the outskirts of Roßwein. After crossing the railway tracks and the river, you are led directly into the town center. There you go back to the Mulde via the market. After switching from the left to the right bank, you continue parallel to the flowing water and after crossing the river Striegis to the village Niederstriegis. After crossing the Freiberger Mulde from Mahlitzsch the route runs directly on the Muldental trail heading north. It ends in Döbeln in Klosterstraße.
