    Tips

    May 25, 2025

    When the Elbe Cycle Path was built, Döbeltitz was worried about being overlooked. So an unknown Döbeltitz resident carved a larger-than-life owl from the old tree trunk. He placed it at the town entrance overnight. Since then, the "Döbeltitz Wooden Owl" has greeted every cyclist with a knowing look. Some say it blinks when there's a headwind. Others claim it turns its head at night. Cyclists who greet it are said to be assured of good luck and protection.
    A nice anecdote – but no one knows if it's true...
