Mulde river
The Mulde, also known as the united Mulde, is formed in Saxony by the unification of the Zwickauer Mulde and Freiberger Mulde southeast of Leipzig near Colditz.
The Mulde is a non-navigable river and is considered the fastest flowing river in Central Europe at higher water levels. From the confluence of the Freiberg and Zwickau Mulde rivers to the Mulde reservoir near Pouch, the Mulde offers good opportunities for water hikers.
The united Mulde flows through the Saxon hill country and enters Saxony-Anhalt after Bad Düben. In Pouch near Bitterfeld-Wolfen, the Mulde dams up in the Mulde reservoir. This reservoir offers a wide range of leisure and recreational activities, e.g. water sports, camping and hiking. The large Goitzsche Lake is also located in the immediate vicinity. After the Mulde reservoir, the Mulde flows past Muldenstein, Jeßnitz and Raguhn. It flows into the Elbe at Dessau-Roßlau.
From the confluence of the Freiberg and Zwickau Mulde to the Mulde reservoir near Pouch, the Mulde offers good opportunities for water hikers. For nature conservation reasons, it is prohibited after the Mulde reservoir until it flows into the Elbe near Dessau-Roßlau.
