April 13, 2022,Die Elbe beidseitig zwischen Mühlberg und Torgau

Well, that's a good start. There is a car park near the entrance to Mühlberg where you can leave your car all day free of charge. Exactly the right place to switch to the bikes. Through the old town you can reach the Elbe in a short way. Due to numerous flood protection measures, the view changes from year to …

I was able to take advantage of the nice weather and the clear air today between Torgau and Mühlberg. I actually followed the Elbe cycle path for a few kilometers. The stops at the manors and castles were very interesting. There is a lot of potential for tourism there.

This time we drove to Mühlberg/Elbe. Then by bike to Torgau to the castle and back again.
I had checked everything again the night before, but when the tour started, my cell phone kept saying that I was not online and unfortunately my planned tour could not be found on the cell phone. That's why I recorded my tour with …

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 third starting point, we had parked the motorhome at the campsite in Torgau. We cycled back to …

Beware of the construction site on the right side of the Elbe: The dyke on the Old Elbe Kathewitz is currently being renovated (June 2023) - the bypass via Arzberg and Triestewitz is signposted. Quiet country roads with little traffic even on weekdays - but no Elbe :-)

What do you do on an August day when it's 34 degrees in the shade? That's right, you look for a nice and shady route to cycle on...mbH had a different opinion. And so we went to the Elbe to look for berries, but instead of berries we had bears in Torgau, which is also quite interesting, as is the …

June 23, 2022,Von Mühlberg, NSG Alte Elbe Käthewitz, Torgau, Belgern 🚴🚶🌳🌲🌺🌼🌹🌊⛪🐄🌞

The NSG Alte Elbe Kathewitz was the actual goal of the tour. Unfortunately, the Elbe and thus the old arm of the Elbe have very little water, which is a pity. And yet it was worth it, the two parks were also on the agenda. Lunch was then punctual in Torgau in the rose garden at the castle. Otherwise it …
