Idyllic nature

Circular route around the Great Pond (8 km)

Discover the picturesque circular route around the Great Pond on the outskirts of Torgau - a protected natural paradise! In about two hours you will enjoy a varied route along the pond, through the forest and along a quiet road. Highlights on the way are the Biberhof, the campsite and the lido with playground.

Whether it's a relaxing walk, jogging or Nordic walking - the route can be ideally adapted to your wishes. Please note: Swimming in the large pond is not recommended due to blue-green algae.
