Access

You can visit Monte Böhlitz - Lachen an der Waldspitze via Böhlitz-Ehrenberg, a district of Leipzig. It is best explored on foot, but a bike is possible too (but beware of the terrain). The length can be varied very flexibly. You can take the large circular route (6 km) as suggested on the map or any part of it. Of course, there are also several other paths you can take.

If you come by public transport, you can exit the tram (line 7) or the bus (lines 62 and N3) at "Ludwig-Jahn-Straße" and walk for a few minutes.

If you come by car, you can park on Ludwig-Jahn-Straße, at the end of it or the parking lot of the football/soccer club right next to this birding place (all marked with a "P" on the map).
