You just have to stroll through here. There are many small shops and a number of bars with nice outdoor spaces. The rosé wine from the area is also very tasty.

May 1, 2025,Auf ein Eis nach Altkötzschenbroda🚴‍♂️

Once again, the classic Elbe Cycle Path...
The landscape is as beautiful as ever: blooming trees, yellow rapeseed fields, colorful flower meadows. And, as expected on such a sunny day, the cycle path is well-frequented. There are also young racing drivers in their speed craze and plenty of electric warhorses, often in packs, and riding to their full potential... 🤨 …

All right, if the doctors tell me to exercise more (also such a profane manslaughter argument, exercise is always good), fine, then I'll just do it. We started at the Bosel down the Elbe (even with wind support :-) ) in the direction of Meissen, where the Elbe then offered a magnificent mirror for a first click :-)). At the …

July 6, 2023,Fremdradeln an der Meißner Elbe

After Bohemian Switzerland, made a detour to Meissen. Since we both don't feel like my planned
"Pleasure hike in Meissen", we accepted the guesthouse's offer - bicycle rental. With someone else's bike it was a new experience, but on the Elbe without any problems and there was enough 🍻🍰🍷🔥 cake to enjoy.
But your own bike is already gold.

Today I finally made it and am from Dresden. Pieschen rode my bike to the elevator. That was very pretty. The Elbe cycle path is very well developed and has plenty of rest areas, beautiful views and certainly accommodation along the way. Easy to drive for everyone...

Arrived around midday and then a short taster tour in both directions. Great bike paths so far!
Meissen Cathedral and Albrechtsburg are impressive just by looking at them😉

September 6, 2022,2. Elberadweg: Dresden - Löbsal

It rolled well. The first 20 km without major interruption always along the Elbe. More or less in the middle of the meadows, the bike ran almost alone on super flat asphalt. Time to enjoy the view, time to unwind thoughtlessly, time to relax. Only every now and then cobblestone passages pull me out of my thoughtlessness as a driver. …
