Explore the "Secret places of Leipzig"

The MS World-Peace cruises on the Karl-Heine-Canal and the Weiße Elster since 1998. It travels between the former mortar fabric, today’s Café “Kanal 28” in Lindenau, and the Plagwitz Bridge at Klingerweg. You will pass 16 Bridges, amongst which is also the Nun Bridge from the year 1856, and get to know Leipzig from an entirely new perspective.

In the north of Leipzig you will find the "New Jerusalem", a district of Leipzig, which elicits admiration with its magnificent and elegant buildings. They date back to the late 19th century. The buildings are located between Wald- and Liviastraße and invite visitors with small, hidden shops and cafés to spend an idyllic afternoon.

If you are looking for a bit of nature, you are welcome to visit the Auwald forest and its lake. A park railway runs around Lake Auensee at 30km/h, so you have enough time to enjoy the atmosphere. Further out of town is the castle's park Lützschena. Following the style of an English landscape park, the park offers visitors relaxation and tranquillity.

The former site of the materials testing machine factory is now known as "WERK 2". Throughout the year, a wide variety of cultural, artistic and theatre programmes and events are organised by the four local associations and the Glücklicher Montag agency. At Christmas, a market of a different kind takes place here. "Weihnachten am Kreuz" is the name of the Christmas market, where special unique items such as self-sewn clothing, candle arches with the silhouette of Leipzig or beautiful prints are presented. Whether young or old, man or woman - the "WERK 2" has something for everyone!
