Loop
A nature hike in Saxony-Anhalt.
Starting from Kleinkühnau, the route runs north to Lake Kühnau and along its green shores eastwards to the Elbe and Streitwerder, where the miniature castle Wallwitzburg, built in the 18th century, is located. Now through lush green meadows to Roßlau, a detour to Unterluch and then along the river to Brambach. Here you cross the Elbe again - by ferry, please do not swim - before the wonderful mixed forest accompanies the route back to the starting point. Accessible by bus and train. There are refreshment stops further along the route.
