Out and about in the beautiful Muldental

The romantic ruins of the former Nimbschen Abbey is a beautiful starting point for a hike into the close vicinity. Idyllic paths lead you to the abbey forests or directly along river Mulde to Schaddel and Großbothen. On the way, you will see the manually operated ferry. On demand, the ferryman brings you from Nimbschen Abbey to the small place of Höfgen with its restored fortified church and the technical exhibition workshops »Schiffmühle« and »Wassermühle«.

But also the way to Grimma with its cultural monuments and protected landscapes is feasible within about 30 minutes – and it is worth a try. At this place, where river Mulde is surrounded by a lovely range of hills and the river has created a beautiful floodplain, people always loved to settle down.
