Rochlitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

When visiting the castle, a tower climb should definitely be included in the program. The old supporting structure is worth seeing.

November 12, 2022,🇩🇪 SN, 🥾🥾, Zwickauer Mulde, Wechselburg- Schlosspark Wechselburg- Wallanlage Borstel- Fischheim/ Sörnizig- durch das Schönburger Revier- Rochlitzer Bergwald zum Rochlitzer Berg- Eulenkluft- Wechselburg

Today the tour should lead along the Zwickauer Mulde/Mulden Aue, the park of Wechselburg Castle via Fischheim/Sörnzig, through the Schönburger Revier to the Rochlitzer Berg and over the Eulenluft back to Wechselburg.
I deliberately left out the visit to the Benedictine monastery in Wechselburg with its more than 800-year history and Rochlitz Castle (closed in winter!), which has been enthroned …

February 3, 2024,Via Porphyria - Zwischen Wechselburg und Rochlitz 🥾🌧🌬🍻☕️

Nice round trip in good weather from Wechselburg over the Rochlitzer Berg with the observation tower and further on the Via Porphyria to Rochlitz (without visiting the castle, as it is closed in winter) and back via Sörnzig on the Zwickauer Mulde. At the end we also paid another visit to the monastery. It was nice.

Nice weather was on the WE plan and so the friend and Mara 🐕 were grabbed and we went on a spontaneous 😏, recommended hiking tour around the pearl of the Muldental. Here and there benches invited you to linger and you could drink some Prosecco or take a closer look at the inn. It was an all-round successful tour. …

February 14, 2022,Von Rochlitz über Wechselburg nach Rochlitz zurück

I used the nice weather today to work off a hike from my list, Rochlitz and Rochlitzer Berg. From there it went along the Zwickauer Mulde in the direction of Wechselburg. A small town with a church and a monastery with a basilica. I looked into the basilica, beautiful organ, beautiful altar.
From there on to Rochlitzer Berg. The way …

March 20, 2025,Frühlingsanfang am Rochlitzer Berg ☀️

The first really warm day, bright blue skies, and I had the day off—the perfect combination for a trip out of town. So, I took the RE6 train and bus to Rochlitz again, then hiked up Rochlitzer Berg and to Wechselburg. The view from the tower was good, though not as outstanding as expected. I could only just make out …

The parking lot in Wechselburg is subject to a fee and can only be paid for with a card. The Easypark app is difficult to use due to the lack of internet access at this location.
