The Elbe covers a total of 1,091 kilometers from its source in the Czech Giant Mountains to its mouth in the North Sea. Geographically, the Elbe is divided into three sections – Upper, Middle, and Lower Elbe. The so-called Middle Elbe, a meandering lowland stream, shapes the northeastern area of the Leipzig region.

From the thousand-year-old Roland town Belgern, water hikers can paddle through the historically significant Elbe bridge to the Renaissance town of Torgau. Here in Torgau, there is also a public water hiking rest area for canoes, rowing, and motorboats with a slipway and direct access to the town center.

Between Torgau and Dommitzsch, the northernmost town of Saxony, many sandy shoals invite you to swim and relax.
