Again and again there are nice beer gardens or cafes for a cozy break.

End of year tour along the Elbe to the very picturesque Pirna. Relaxed cruise with beautiful views of Pillnitz Castle and the hills of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In Pirna we walked from the market square up to Sonnenstein Castle, great view of the Elbe valley.

Happy New Year to everyone!

I did this tour with my son. The aim was to have an undisturbed father-son conversation. We reached our destination on the wonderful Dresden-Pirna-Dresden route, so we were rewarded with a gourmet meal at Villa Marie.

May 1, 2025,Das war wieder ne tolle Runde

Yes, the Elbe Cycle Path was really crowded today.

You really had to be careful not to run anyone over.

But still, a successful bike ride in the best weather.

On the last day, we finally got caught and were able to test whether our rain gear was any good, 😁. It proved its worth: we arrived in Dresden dry, 😁. My wish that it would stay dry didn't quite work out, but at least it rained less than we had feared, 😁.

October 23, 2023,Mit 🚴‍♂️und 🌞in die Woche starten

Today we started the week by bike via Pillnitz towards Dresden.
I crossed the Elbe on the Waldschlößchenbrücke and then went back to the Pirna old town bridge, where I switched back to the right-hand side of the river to get home.
