Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path with lots of sights.
It takes time and sometimes instinct.
Thanks to Komoot, it's no longer as difficult as it was xx years ago.

Neuhirschstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Neuhirschstein Castle was built between 1892 and 1894 in the Neo-Renaissance style on the remains of a 10th-century castle. During World War II, the castle was confiscated by the SS and used as an art warehouse and prison. During the GDR era, it served as a children's convalescent home and sanatorium.

Albrechtsburg, Meissen

Highlight • Castle

The Albrechtsburg Castle on the castle hill in Meissen is one of the most famous late Gothic architectural monuments and is considered the first palace building in Germany.

Starting in 1471, the Wettin Electors and Dukes of Saxony had a residential palace built there on the site of an older medieval castle.

In 1710, the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory moved in.

After 1864, the castle was redesigned again, and numerous rooms were decorated with historical paintings.

Today, the hilltop castle is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention and houses a permanent exhibition on the site's eventful history.

Beautiful tour, but often without shade or wind protection. Headwinds that felt like 35 degrees on many sections brought our average down.

A first for me: Not on a river cycle path, but accompanied by a cargo bike and child! Our first little mother-son cycle trip takes us to the picturesque @Elberadweg .

In the morning we travelled by train from Berlin to Riesa, and in the afternoon we admired the Albrechtsburg in Meißen. In between there are almost 27 fantastic (suitable …

Both women who came along love pasta. So today's itinerary included the pasta capital of Riesa. Since Anke didn't have a bike with her, the two of them took the bus.

I couldn't resist the sunny weather and hopped on my bike.

…. simply because it's beautiful.... and yes, the Elbe Cycle Path is beautiful. It may be that the right-hand side is better developed, but I felt that it was better to cycle on the left-hand side between Meissen and Riesa. The sun was shining, you can't influence the wind, you have to plan one or the other stopover.

June 14, 2022,Elberadweg Tour von Riesa nach Meissen und zurück

Beautiful tour along the Elbe from Riesa to Meissen on the left bank of the Elbe and back on the right bank. The cycle path on the right bank of the Elbe is the nicer part. The vineyards start near Meissen and very nice wineries shops invite you to rest.
