Rather not use if it rained, lots of mud and very slippery!

One of the best preserved towpaths on the Elbe

If you walk along the riverside path along the Elbe during your hike on my "16km round trip ferry Laubegast, Pillnitz, Birkwitz and back", you have the opportunity to experience one of the best preserved towpaths on the Elbe. But what exactly is a towpath and why is it so fascinating?

A towpath, also known as a towpath, is a historic path that runs along rivers, in this case the Elbe. In the past, these paths served as an important route for the towmen, the people who pulled ships upstream using muscle power. Using ropes attached to the ships, they pulled the ships step by step against the current to transport goods and goods. This laborious but effective method was the only way to move ships upstream before the introduction of steam and motor ships.
