Tour tip: Detour to the Industrial Garden Kingdom

From the starting point of the KOHLE | DAMPF | LICHT | SEEN - Route in the Werkssieldung Piesteritz, the former housing estate of the workers of the nitrogen plant, this tour tip takes the cyclist past the town of Coswig into the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz, which includes the Wörlitzer Park. As the tour continues toward Dessau, it also passes the former Vockerode power plant, the gigantic former lignite-fired power plant on the Elbe River. Once in Dessau, not only the famous Bauhaus buildings can be visited. Here, too, castles and parks in the Garden Kingdom invite you to visit - for example, Georgium Castle and Park and Mosigkau. Industrialist Hugo Junkers once wrote industrial history in Dessau with his groundbreaking developments, and today the Museum of Technology in Dessau is dedicated to the life and work of the aviation pioneer and engineer. In the further course of this tour through the Garden Kingdom, the castle and park in Oranienbaum is also reached and the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve is passed through, before the tour ends in Ferropolis and meets again with the COAL | VAPOR | LIGHT | SEAS - route.
