Idyllic, easy-to-drive flow trail. Maybe there will still be someone who will throw a kicker here and there ;-).

Easy but nice singletrack (S0-S1)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Relaxed trail from the Hofewiese over larger and smaller paths down into the Prießnitztal, where you have to pass a short sandy area. At the end of the trail, a small shelter awaits “trailers” for a short break.

Priessnitz Trail

Highlight • Trail

Beautifully scenic, long, easy-to-ride trail with no technical difficulties. To really enjoy it, you should ride outside of rush hour, as there are otherwise a lot of hikers on the trail.

🥵 Pretty out of breath. Today I pulled an ancient "planning bullet" out of the bottom drawer. The route roughly corresponds to the MTB Heidemarathon. Alright. Hook behind it 😁 Could have been a few more trails.

Today we have, roughly, ridden the Heide MTB marathon route from 2019.
When it started with drizzle we were just at the Hofewiese and ate out the bad weather with bratwurst, shandy, fried fish, coffee, cake and more coffee.
Then the flow trails quickly went back to the alum square.
An all-round successful Saturday

Lots of activity on the heath today. Around 500 sheep 🐑 on their way to the Elbe meadows.

Another MTB ride in the Dresden Heath today. It's a great place to go. I rode four interesting and well-known runs in the heath. The third is the longest and has a lot to offer. If you ride there on your downhill bike or freerider, there are also plenty of jumps. So, it's a very good route for mountain biking.

And today I needed something to blast through the heath with. This route was perfect.

After a lovely choir weekend in Plauen, my mind was exhausted, but my body wasn't.
Actually, the last time I rode my mountain bike was for the Stoneman 🏅 about a month ago. Lately, I've always been carrying …

Did a really cool mountain bike ride today. I went up four times and down four times. The Dresdner Heide has enough of them and is of course highly recommended. First I went uphill along the Prießnitzgrundweg to the Silbersee. At the Silbersee I took a break. Not too far I went to the first descent. This descent is called …

Built so high up there?
I want to praise the master,
As long as my voice rang out.
Goodbye
Farewell, you beautiful forest! "
