Hiking, cycling and horse riding

The 35-kilometre circular hiking route around Mulda starts at Mulda railway station. Its listed sights include the Lichtenberg Dam, the Dorfchemnitz hammer mill and Helbigsdorf Church. Given its length, you should set aside enough time for this route. Check the condition of the paths and the trail markings locally.

On demonstration days and during guided tours, the historic board mill showcases drive systems of the kind used during the industrialisation of the Ore Mountains. Dates depend on local scheduling and should be checked before your visit. Guided tours of the steam-powered sawmill in Mulda are available by prior arrangement.

Rail connections and taking bicycles on board

The Freiberger Eisenbahn runs between Freiberg and Holzhau, with a railway station in Mulda. Bicycles are carried free of charge. As capacity is limited, advance registration is requested. Check the current timetable and the conditions for taking bicycles on board before your journey. This makes it easier to include the train in your hiking or cycling plans while still taking the conditions on each route into account.
