Mulde
The Mulde, at high water one of the fastest flowing rivers of Central Europe, is non-navigable. But between the junction of the Freiberg and Zwickau Mulde and the Mulde reservoir near Pouch, the river offers excellent opportunities for water hiking.
The Mulde, sometimes also called the "joined Mulde", gets its start in Saxony southeast of Leipzig near Colditz, where two rivers (the Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde) join forces. From there, the Mulde flows through the Saxon hill country, entering Saxony-Anhalt behind Bad Düben. In Pouch near Bitterfeld-Wolfen, the river runs into the Mulde reservoir. Here, a variety of recreational activities are on offer, such as water sports, camping and hiking. You might also want to explore the nearby Lake Goitzsche. Behind the reservoir, the Mulde flows past Muldenstein, Jeßnitz, Raguhn and other towns until it flows into the Elbe (at Dessau-Roßlau).
Between the confluence of the Freiberg and Zwickau Mulde and the Mulde reservoir near Pouch, the river offers excellent opportunities for water hiking. Please note: For nature conservation reasons, water hiking is prohibited between the reservoir and the point where the river flows into the Elbe at Dessau-Roßlau.
