Leipzig Lowlands is a plain in Saxony, Germany. It is bordered in the south and east by the Central Saxon Hills. The latter is known as Saxony's "land of castles", including several (mostly medieval and Renaissance) mansions, fortresses, churches and monasteries as well as neat old towns.
The region's transportation hub is Leipzig with its airport (IATA: LEJ) and major train station that is served by ICE high-speed (lines Hamburg–Berlin–Munich and Frankfurt–Dresden) and intercity trains (from Hanover, Cologne).
The region is crossed or passed by Autobahnen A4 (Frankfurt–Dresden), A9 (Berlin–Munich), A14 (Magdeburg–Dresden), A38 (Göttingen–Leipzig) and A72 (Leipzig–Chemnitz–Hof).
Most of the region belongs to the MDV transport system. Their tickets are valid for all local and regional trains, trams and buses in the respective zone, no matter which company operates the particular means of transportation. You may switch from one vehicle to another using the same ticket, the fare only depends on the number of zones lying between start and destination of the trip. A similar system exists with the VMS in the southern part of the region (area around Hainichen, Mittweida, Rochlitz) that are closer to Chemnitz than to Leipzig. Both systems overlap in the Döbeln area where tickets of both networks are valid.
The surroundings of Leipzig are served by the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland network of suburban trains (e.g. S2 Leipzig–Delitzsch, S3 Leipzig–Markkleeberg–Böhlen–Borna–Geithain, S4 Eilenburg–Leipzig–Wurzen) with trains running every half hour. Parts of the region that are more distant from Leipzig are served by hourly regional trains (Leipzig–Grimma–Leisnig–Döbeln, Riesa–Döbeln–Mittweida–Chemnitz) or regional express trains that skip over some minor stations and are therefore a little faster (Leipzig–Wurzen–Oschatz–Riesa–Dresden, Leipzig–Bad Lausick–Geithain–Burgstädt–Chemnitz, Leipzig–Eilenburg–Torgau–Falkenburg–Cottbus, the latter only two-hourly).
Some unprofitable rail routes have been closed and replaced by so-called "Plus bus", i.e. hourly regional bus lines (e.g. Leipzig–Bad Düben, Grimma–Colditz, Grimma–Wermsdorf, Grimma–Wurzen, Torgau–Dahlen). Smaller places can only be reached by local buses that in many cases only run a few times a day.
The region offers a well-developed network of cycle paths, in particular several scenic routes along the course of rivers, e.g. Pleiße cycle trail (Leipzig–Böhlen–Altenburg), Leipzig–Elbe route (Leipzig–Wurzen–link with the Elbe Radweg), Parthe–Mulde route (Leipzig–Naunhof–Grimma), Muldental cycle path (Penig–Rochlitz–Colditz– or Nossen–Döbeln–Leisnig– Grimma–Wurzen–Eilenburg–Bad Düben–Dessau) as well as the Berlin–Leipzig cycle trail (Leipzig–Bad Düben–Wittenberg–Berlin)
