The last major town on the Elbe Cycle Path heading towards the Czech Republic! Good infrastructure, so recharge your batteries there! The passenger elevator and the town center of Bad Schandau are definitely worth seeing. ☝️

Start and finish: after the train journey from Magdeburg to Bad Schandau -
Hotel Lindenhof

September 27, 2025,Elberadweg von Bad Schandau nach Schmilka

Today my Hubbediedel was allowed to cycle along the Elbe. A very nice bike path and, for me as a beginner, relatively rear-side-friendly. ;-D
Next time, I'll take the ferry to the other side of the Elbe and then back across again in Schmilka.
