Directions

From the starting point, we first ride on Rathausstraße towards Markkleeberger Lake. After crossing the Pleiße, we keep right and reach the lake. Passing the lakeside promenade, after a few minutes we encounter the Markkleeberg Canoe Park on the left side. Following the signage, we continue to Störmthaler Lake, where the floating VINETA drifts. After about 2.5 km, we turn left into the municipality of Störmthal. Upon arriving in Großpösna, the Botanical Garden for Medicinal and Spice Plants as well as the beautiful forest playground await us. From Liebertwolkwitz, we then return to Markkleeberg.
