Von Pirna nach Rathen

One of the most beautiful sections of the Elbe Cycle Route.

For art lovers, a detour in Naundorf into the Robert-Sterl-Haus is worthwhile (open from May to October, see robert-sterl-haus.de/cgi-bin/page.pl?idx=2&l=0) , German impressionist.

This side of the Elbe is always to choose as Elbe cycle path, as you can enjoy the most impressions & views!

Despite the excitement I can enjoy the view. Together, it looks nice too. For the nature-seeking hiker the Elbe Cycle Route is too busy. At Rathen you can change sides with the ferry, either because you are looking for other perspectives or you want to visit the bastion.

Almost consistently good ground, there are a few minor climbs, in good weather moderately many people on the way. For racing cyclists, I highly recommend a bell on the bike.

High up on the rock majestically trusts the fortress Königstein. Already as a child she was fascinating. A ride or a climb up is definitely worth it.

Some sections of the Elbe cycle path are released for motor vehicles, here and there something to be careful.
