The path leads through the moorland of the Dübener Heide, past historic post mills and through small forest areas. The beauty of the landscape offers much time for reflection during the hike along the river "Vereinigte Mulde".

This stage of the Lutherweg leads the hiker through small forest areas, past lakes, and along the river "Vereinigte Mulde". The landscape of the Dübener Heide is exceptionally beautiful. Not only are the moor baths famous here. Just outside the gates of Bad Düben, the horse theft of Mr. von Zaschnitz from the horse dealer Hans Kohlhase took place. Kohlhase, fighting for his rights, also wrote a letter to Martin Luther asking for justice. Upon arriving in Bad Düben, one can visit the nature park house or relax in the famous moor health spa.
