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.

Dresden is impressive. I was staying in the Innere Neustadt, and ended up in the beer garden at Katy's Garage in the evening. The next day, in exceptionally good weather, the tour continued along the Elbe to Meissen, then continued westward, and later along the Mulde until just before Grimma. There are many nice places on this stage, where you …
