Dresden Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

It is always worthwhile to turn up from the ERW.
Especially on the pavement of Neumarkt, the MTB is not that out of place 😉

If you come from the Saxon Switzerland on the Elbe cycle path, here is an indescribable sight. The architecture and the Mediterranean flair take you immediately, the parallels to Florence are more than obvious.

View of Dresden TV Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Elbe Cycle Path on the left side of the Elbe, the view at this height is a delight. The many villas and the green slopes of the Elbe are a bit distracting. 😉

Pirna Town Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In Pirna, the last possibility is to change to the other side of the Elbe via the bridge before Dresden (Blaues Wunder) or upstream before Bad Schandau, otherwise only with a fee-based ferry. Would also recommend cycling on the left side (downstream) of the Elbe.

View of Pillnitz Palace

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle is located directly on the banks of the Elbe and cannot be overlooked due to its impressive (also colorful) construction. From the opposite bank, the castle shows its most beautiful side, especially in the late afternoon. On the site itself you should then take a lot more time.

February 18, 2024,„Frühlingstour“ im Februar (!) von Pirna nach Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda und zurück

It's strange with the climate and also a little crazy: you go to Dresden in February to eat ice cream outside and stand in line at the street vendor...

The route has its scenic charms. Past buildings with beautiful old architecture, under the Blue Wonder, past vineyards to the old town. The road is completely asphalted and there are plenty of rest areas.
But where there is light, there is also shadow. Although the Elbe cycle path is developed on both sides, 80-90% of the traffic occurs on the …
