Wolmirsleben offers several different starting points for planning your trip. When looking for a holiday apartment, it is worth first considering whether you would like to focus on leisure time at the Großer Schachtsee, fishing at several small lakes or cycling. Check the current facilities at the Großer Schachtsee before your visit.
Cycling and Sights in Wolmirsleben

This gives you a choice of different interests when planning your stay, without requiring a fixed daily schedule: you can focus on leisure and fishing, a cycling tour or local sights.
