Germany–Czech Republic border post at Dolní Žleb (Elbe Cycle Route, Schöna)

Highlight • Monument

It's great that these days you can cycle across the border on the Elbe or Labe cycle paths so relaxed and without any controls.

That's what I call true freedom. Hopefully it stays that way forever!

Hřensko

Highlight • Settlement

Elbe Bridge Bad Schandau

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful steel construction and the new one in front of it, one of the few possibilities to cross the Elbe without the help of the ferries.

View of Königstein Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

Of Elberadweg you can of course also up. But, if you have miles left, the best point is to take a look at the fortress. Imposing - summer and winter.
