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.

Another ride on my road bike. I actually just wanted to ride along the Elbe to Meissen, but in Meissen I thought about going to Moritzburg. It almost worked out, but I should have taken the gravel bike instead. Overall, it was a pleasant ride. It got dark towards the end, and of course, I forgot my lights.
