Author: Town of Delitzsch in the LEIPZIG REGION
Along green paths – through Delitzsch’s parks and floodplains
In the historic old town, you can stroll through narrow lanes and winding streets. You can really feel the atmosphere of the Middle Ages as you walk along the imposing city walls with their water-filled moat. The magnificent Baroque castle, with its beautifully landscaped Baroque garden, is a must-see for all knights and damsels, as it houses a museum and offers the chance to climb the tower, where you’ll be rewarded with a 360° panoramic view of the city. Afterwards, you can really let off steam at the playground by the castle. Budding zoo directors and animal keepers will be in their element at the zoo: many exotic and native animal species call this place home. Once you’ve spotted them all, you’ll have truly enjoyed an exciting day out in the Leipzig region!

Departure from Delitzsch (Saxony)
‘Self-help, self-governance and self-responsibility’ – an idea that has made it onto the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In 2016, the cooperative ideal became the first German contribution ever to be included by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The cooperative ideal is usually mentioned in the same breath as its founders, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, and stands for freedom, fundamental democratic structures and values such as solidarity. True to the principle ‘together we are strong’, the cooperative movement is intended to be a means of ‘helping people to help themselves’. After all, what one person cannot achieve alone, many can achieve together.
