We ride north past the Paradiesbrücke, the Crossen weir, and the former railway bridge and take the next bridge turn over the Mulde into Schneppendorfer Straße. At the fork, turn left into Lange Straße and follow the course for 3 kilometers until we cross the Zwickauer Mulde. Shortly after, turn left, follow the path for 100 meters, turn right at the path and ride under the federal road bridge.
