Elbe Cycle Route: Gohlis to Niederwartha

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Fine asphalt path across the Elbe meadows. There are 2 sharp curves and just before Niederwartha a "jump", i.e. a very short ramp, where you should try to take off (only if there is no traffic😁).

Very idyllic and beautiful views. With a racing bike you brake too often for leisurely cyclists or e-bikes who like to use the entire width of the cycle path. Beware of bottlenecks and curves that are difficult to see.

Elberadweg Between Scharfenberg and Meißen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful part of the Elbe cycle path, past the Bosel the view sweeps over the skyline of the old town of Meissen, of course the towers of the cathedral come into view first. The path rolls well, only a few annoying bends, very beautiful!

Triebischtal Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Easy to drive in either direction. But I usually ride downhill on the way back to Dresden on a rather easy tour. Entry into the Triebischtal is possible in many places. In Meissen I continue along the Triebisch behind the porcelain factory.

Avenue between Unkersdorf and Merbitz

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A scenic route through the highlands of Dresden with good views of the city. Asphalt is of good quality.

Climb to Merbitz

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice climb into the western highlands and further towards Lommatzscher Pflege with nice curves (which are really fun, especially downhill). Very little traffic outside of rush hour. Asphalt is great. The climb is long and gets steeper towards the end, but I always think it's nice to drive this way because you have beautiful views over the landscape and you can look downhill at Dresden, Radebeul and the vineyards. In my opinion it is the best option because the alternatives are either very urban (Dresden-Leutewitz/Gorbitz or Cossebaude) or even steeper (Nieder-/Oberwartha). You can also take a break in the newly opened bistro in Rennersdorf.
