Rest area at the Spilling tree near Colditz

Highlight • Rest Area

If you bump the Mulderadweg between Colditz and Sermuth, you will find on the top of this beautiful rest area and a spilling tree. The bench is brand new and replaced with the old seat frame. Fruity Tip: Every year between the 20.07. and 30.07. The tree not only provides shade but also plenty of sweet fruits. In my opinion, the best spillings in Central Saxony.

Kössern Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Castle

The hunting lodge, built in the style of a large manor house around 1709 - often referred to as a hunting lodge - is considered an outstanding gem of baroque architecture in the Mulde valley. The architect was Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, chief court huntsman and elder minister in the cabinet of the Saxon Elector Friedrich August I and later King of Poland August II - known as "August the Strong".

The high mansard roof greets visitors from afar. The tightly structured, richly painted facade is in perfect harmony. The foyer on the ground floor was supported on both sides by four strong pillars to allow a view of the Great Garden. An extensive staircase, preserved in its original form, leads to the upper floor with a surprisingly stately ballroom, which is crowned with lavish stucco and a large ceiling painting.
Today, guided tours in historical costumes, concerts, events and rooms for weddings are offered. In addition, a tourist information point (outpost of the Grimma city information office) awaits you in the Kössern hunting lodge, which is located directly on the Mulde cycle path.
