August 22, 2023,R/ST (11/14) "Elbe, Oder/Neiße- Tour 2024". Dresden -> Belgern. Entlang der Elbe - Meißen - Riesa - Cavertitz bis Belgern. 95,0 KM. 310 HM.

Apart from the fact that the headwind made it really difficult for me that day (see average speed ;-)), the route was great, just super beautiful.
Of course, Meißen and the view of the Albrechtsburg were outstanding.

Got an early start to try and get some km's in before the forecasted rain started. Managed to get as far as meißen before the rain started. Radweg was nice and smooth and easy going. Stopped for ramen in Dresden, everything was damp so I'm sure we were quite a sight peeling of our layers of waterproofs in the restaurant. …
