Old steel truss bridge with a rather pale blue paintwork. A technical masterpiece of the last century.

View of the Blue Wonder (Loschwitzer Bridge)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the "Loschwitz Bridge", also known as the "Blue Wonder", on both sides is particularly beautiful. The "Blue Wonder" is to be given its blue color again, as it was in historical times. Illuminated by the sun, however, the bridge still lives up to its name and shines in a magical blue.

Brühl's Terrace

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The Brühlsche Terrasse is a famous riverside promenade in Dresden's Old Town, located directly above the Elbe River.
It is often referred to as the "Balcony of Europe" because it offers a sweeping view over the river and Dresden's historic skyline. Originally, it was part of the fortifications, but it was redesigned into a representative terrace in the 18th century.
Today, it is a central walking and viewing spot with many nearby attractions, including the Neumarkt, the Frauenkirche, and various monuments and sculptures.

Elbe Tour! 😉The run started today on Glacisstraße, down onto the Elbe Cycle Path toward the Blue Wonder. Early, with still bearable temperatures, we crossed the bridge and returned on the other side of the Elbe. At the Heinz Steyer Stadium, we kept right, through the Ostragehege, and over the Flügelweg Bridge. Then from Übigau, we took the Elbe Route …

I decided to run a half marathon in Saxony on my day off on Friday. I combined it with a bit of charity work. The route took me along my usual route on the Elbe Cycle Path, past the harbor, over the Flügelweg Bridge, and on the other side of the Elbe, past the familiar cityscape, across the Blue Wonder …

For the first time in a long time, I've done half a sled. It's fun in these mild temperatures 😁.
From Blaues Wunder onwards there was only headwind. The Fährgarten was really tempting, I really had an appetite for a Bockwurst and a beer 🍺😋.

I last ran this route in 2022. Back then, there were still eight Elbe bridges in Dresden. Today there are only seven. 🙄 Maybe there will be a new Carolabrücke by 2031. You can start the tour at any point, and the lower section is particularly flexible. Specifically, upstream: Autobahnbrücke, Flügelwegbrücke, Marienbrücke, Augustusbrücke, Albertbrücke, Waldschlösschenbrücke, and the Loschwitzer Brücke (Blue …

Made up for the long run from Sunday including a water break in the DSC hall, which saved me. In addition, the wind actually cost more power than expected 😕
