Torgischer Weg (46 km, extendable to auf 67 km)

A real highlight for all cyclists: the Torgische Weg - one of the most beautiful cycle routes in Saxony!

The Torgische cycle path invites you on an unforgettable tour through Saxony's largest nature reserve, the Dübener Heath. This natural cycle path connects the charming Renaissance town of Torgau with the spa town of Bad Düben over a distance of around 46 kilometres. After a further 21 kilometres, you reach Delitzsch, as the route has now been extended to this point.  

There are further connection options in Bad Düben: The Muldental cycle path and the Berlin-Leipzig cycle path open up new routes for cycling enthusiasts. In Delitzsch, you can continue cycling on the KOHLE - DAMPF - LICHT - SEEN (Coal - Steam - Light - Lakes) cycle route.

For the return journey, there is a practical bus and train connection from Bad Düben (duration approx. 1:06 h). Please note, however, that this is not available every day - it is worth planning in advance! From Delitzsch, you can easily reach Torgau by changing trains in Eilenburg.
