This morning I quickly decided to saddle up the bikes and off we went. The weather was great and the many splashes of color in the gardens make us want to spring

Elbe cycle path from Riesa. If you know the cycle path between Meissen and Dresden, you will appreciate the peace and quiet. 😉

August 9, 2024,Elberadweg 2024 Tag 2: Riesa <-> Mühlberg/Elbe

After we had already cycled on both sides of the Elbe from the Czech border to Meißen in 2020 and 2023, it was now the turn of the part from Meißen to Dessau. The various stages were completed using the motorhome.
For the second starting point, we parked the motorhome at the campsite in Riesa/ Göhlis. We cycled to Mühlberg/Elbe …

Finally cycling weather again. Today we took one of our favorite routes. By car to Riesa and from there we went left of the Elbe to Mühlberg and back on the right side, which is more varied. It goes through a lot of small villages.

Unfortunately not so successful, the inner courtyard of the castle is closed due to vandalism (📷 21), the castle park looks a bit devastated, the small pump house is destroyed (📷 30), the mermaid isn't …

Finally, it was time for a rooftop tent weekend. We camped again at the Riesa campsite (almost on the bike path). This time we returned to Mühlberg and the other side of the Elbe. Mühlberg is a pretty little town. We had coffee and Tim Tam (an Australian pastry specialty) in the museum courtyard. It was another very enjoyable trip.
