Not only the Elbtadweg is beautiful, but the small and narrow paths of the Jahnatalweg, natural, have a lot to offer. Sometimes young beavers build small dams in search of a new territory, but these have been dismantled by humans?¿

August 11, 2023,Traumhaftes Jahnatal – Runde Meißen - Döbeln - Riesa (Teil 2)

It's rolling again and at its finest. Great bike paths and bike lanes. On to the Jahna Valley. The Jahna is a tributary to the left of the Elbe in Saxony. It rises near the village of Präbschütz east of Döbeln, flows through Ostrau and finally flows into the Elbe after about 30 km near Riesa.
A beautiful landscape. Forest …

The plan was to cycle down the Jahnatal route. We have chosen Riesa as the starting point. The four of us jumped into the saddle motivated.

The Jahnatalweg is 35 kilometers long and forms the connection between the Mulde Cycle Path and the Elbe Cycle Path. A tourist circular route could arise from Riesa via Döbeln, Nossen, Lommatzsch, Meißen and …

It wasn't exactly optimal weather for a bike tour, 🌧️ was forecast.
But I still took the 🚆 from Leisnig to Döbeln. The route is super nice to cycle 😀, unfortunately on the way back I had to battle strong 💨 from the front. But at least I arrived back at the station in Döbeln dry 😅.

Nice tour. We actually wanted to change to the right side in Diesbar, but the ferry stopped running today. It won't run again until August. Renovations in the summer are better than in spring or fall, as you don't get cold as quickly! And what about the few tourists?! 🤨🙄

We start relaxed in Weinböhla, drifting through Niederau to the Elbe. There, the river welcomes us with its usual serenity, and the Elbe Cycle Path is almost ours alone.

The route to Meissen is a classic: flat, beautiful, with panoramic views. In the city, we cross the Elbe on the pedestrian bridge, take a look at the cathedral and castle, …

Explore the hinterland on the Elbe again...
First up the Elbe against the wind, then a short steep climb in the direction of Schieritz Castle - another hidden gem, unfortunately not in the best condition.
Then on quiet side streets always along the Ketzerbach, through blossoming avenues of fruit trees (Castle No. 2) to the Schleinitzerhöhe - fantastic views. The …

We start our tour in Weinböhla and initially cycle along the right bank of the Elbe towards Meissen along well-maintained paths. The fresh morning air, the soft light over the fields, and the first glimpses of the Elbe accompany us along the way. In Meissen, we cross the Elbe …
