Get in
Mühlberg is an approximately 1½-hour drive from Dresden or Leipzig; both offers major train stations and airports. A bus also runs through the small village. The Elbe Radweg (River Elbe cycle path) passes through Mühlberg, so it is conveniently accessible by bike.

Get around
Mühlberg is a very walkable location. The entire village can be walked within an hour or so if you are not interested in learning about the various places.

Do
Mühlberg is a great place to walk around and experience what life is like in a rural area of Germany. Many of the locals are friendly but only speak German. If you are walking late at night, be careful of group of teenagers hanging outside of a house or at the park. The undesirable elements of the community usually congregate together till the wee hour of night with their bicycles. If you ignore them, they will usually leave you alone.

Buy
