October 30, 2026, Path Along the Neue Luppe

Beautiful, quiet path directly along the Neue Luppe. The water and the densely overgrown banks accompany the route and create a pleasant atmosphere in the middle of the Leipzig floodplain landscape.

Beautiful view over the Saale river to the mighty ICE bridge. The modern bridge construction forms an impressive contrast to the green river and floodplain landscape.

The bridge connects Rabeninsel with the surrounding trail network and leads directly over a branch of the Saale river. From here, there are beautiful views of the water and the densely overgrown banks.

The Planena lock is a striking hydraulic structure on the Saale river. From the surrounding paths, there is a good view of the lock facility and the river.
