Oder–Neisse Cycle Path – Bad Muskau

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike path leads for the most part directly along the river Neisse, away from traffic. The places along the way are usually a bit "sleepy" and lovingly maintained.

Maybe it would be an idea to combine all of these highlights from the pine forest at the military training area into ONE section? Because as MaestroG writes: the whole …

The water from the Neisse is dammed here so that the turbines of the hydroelectric power plant are continuously supplied with water.

(Once again) a great section on the Oder-Neisse cycle path (D12) with a great surface, close to the river and quiet and without cars. A pleasure! 👍

The elevation gain is, of course, complete nonsense. My watch was producing some nonsense. There are a few hills, but otherwise everything here is flat.

Today's stage runs along a fantastically well-maintained cycle path. The climbs and headwinds are truly enjoyable. It's a beautiful tour through stunning scenery and fascinating locations.

I prefer to drive on the Neisse.

Today we set off on the second leg. Finally, the weather was nice, even though it was chilly and very windy. But with the e-bike, it wasn't a problem. It was the most beautiful tour so far. Prince Pückler Park was especially beautiful. But the last stretch along the Neisse River was also fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Very good bike paths on the tour. Not many climbs, just a brief 10% gradient. In Bad Muskau, it's very nice to cycle through the beautiful park and admire the beautifully reconstructed castle.
If you're hungry and interested, you can take a short detour over the Neisse Bridge to the Polish Market.
Until Forst, there's not much new to discover, …

A stunningly beautiful route, and luckily the longer section led through a wonderfully cool forest. The last few kilometers along the dike and in the sun were truly challenging. Having enough water was paramount.

A fantastic tour with a great view of the Neisse. Almost the entire route is super smooth asphalt and runs away from cars. There were a few places to stop for refreshments and for a Sunday with great weather there was not much going on. I can only recommend the tour!

Showing Translation

Completely different in character to the first stage: a lot of it through pine forests and along the edges of forests and fields. Towards the end of the tour, after crossing under the A15, the cycle path leads almost exclusively along a flood embankment, which can be a sweaty affair at over 30°C and with a headwind.
