    Beginning Beautiful road, in the course then paved smooth road, well developed. Better than the B172.

      This is definitely a better choice than driving on the busy, rather narrow federal highway. The views are also more beautiful, and the asphalt rolls perfectly.

        A very good bike path

          It's a blessing that this cycle path exists! Even if it is a bit narrow in places, you can finally cycle through this side.
          Previously there was only an unpaved path through the Elbe meadows that was unsuitable for cyclists and the Traidlerweg paved with sandstone in the area of the railway embankment. Before it was built, anyone who did not want to use the B172 had to take the ferry to the other side in Königstein or use the train.

            New linkselbisches piece Elbe cycle path between Bad Schandau and Königstein. Is a bit narrow, which directly leads to problems when pedestrians use the way. The shore area is just narrow and steep. A wider path would have been difficult to implement. In Königstein it then continues on a side street. The last piece is then cobblestones before you are back on the previous path.

              If you regularly cycle the Elbe bike path, you can not help but invest in a bell.

                great asphalt without breaking roots. It rolls great there. The landscape is awesome
