Thallwitz lies on the eastern terrace edge of the Mulde between Wurzen and Eilenburg. The town combines a long history with palace and park grounds, a preserved milling tradition, river landscapes, and routes for exploring by bicycle.
Culture and History
Thallwitz Palace was built in the 16th century. Thallwitz Park was designed in the French style, and the palace was converted into a hunting lodge at the end of the 19th century.
Thallwitz was first documented as “Talvitz” on 31 July 1253. The Schösserhaus is one of the oldest buildings in Thallwitz and is home to the Thallwitz Local History Association.
Thallwitz Sawmill has a water-powered tradition spanning more than 200 years and remains fully operational with an overshot water wheel. Every year on Whit Monday, the Thallwitz Local History Association hosts the Mill Festival there.
Nature
Thallwitz Herrenteich is a dammed section of the Lossa. Its reeds and islands provide protected nesting sites for swans. West of Thallwitz lies the Lauch, a long woodland area divided into Oberlauch, Mittellauch, and Unterlauch, parts of which are crossed by the Lossa.
On the Go
The Mulde Valley Cycle Path runs from Wurzen to Eilenburg through the municipality of Thallwitz; Thallwitz is part of the route. In Thallwitz, the Gasthof Reußischer Hof and Café Höhne offer refreshments, while a bakery and Thallwitz Country Butcher’s provide provisions.
A 35-kilometre geological discovery trail can be explored by bicycle and passes various geotopes, including a quarry area.
Other Places
Nischwitz Palace was built between 1714 and 1721 and later given its Rococo form by Heinrich von Brühl. Canitz Park covers approximately four hectares and includes reconstructions of Slavic and Germanic settlements, themed gardens, natural gardens, and a garden for children.
