Hosterwitz Side Street

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If you don't want to drive Pillnitzer Straße, you can use this quiet side street above Hosterwitz. There are also a few beautiful views of the Elbe Valley.

From Lohmener Straße you have a good (albeit short) view of the church from the Pillnitz vineyard. Definitely worth a photo opportunity in the evening sun.
