Half-timbered houses on the Elbe Cycle Path

Highlight • Historical Site

Idyllic half-timbered row houses directly on the banks of the Elbe. There is also a place to stop for a bite to eat, perfect for a short break.

Right-bank Elbe Cycle Path through the Elbe Meadows

Highlight • Cycleway

Coming from Walternienburg, shortly before the Barby ferry, I chose the cycle path through Elbauen to Dornburg, which was signposted as an alternative route. The double-track path made of concrete drives very well.
