June 5, 2022,Elberadtour Diesbar Seußlitz - Meißen und zurück

Start is directly at the free car park in Merschwitz, there are always free spaces, in contrast to the paid car park at the castle in Seusslitz (usually full). You are happy to accept the additional 6 km (there + back).
Please note the ferry ride on the return trip (Niederlommatzsch-Seußlitz). Otherwise a wonderful tour with the highlight Meissen.

In picture-perfect weather along what I consider to be the second most scenic stretch of the Elbe in this country after Saxon Switzerland.
I had to limit myself quite a bit in terms of photography, because we wanted to cycle and not have to stop all the time. 😉

Today's bike tour took us to the Meissen Cathedral and the Albrechtsburg, then through the beautiful little old town of Meissen, then to the Heilig Kreuz monastery ruins with a very well-kept garden, then via the Elbe cycle path to Niederlommatzsch, with the ferry to the other side of the Elbe and back to the parking space. A beautiful tour...

Nice short tour. Meissen is definitely worth it.

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.

We started at the parking lot behind the vocational school, where parking is free. We continued up the steps to Proschwitz Castle. A steep climb through the vineyards. Of course, we were allowed to taste the wine. We visited the castle gardens and enjoyed the view of Meissen. We returned to the parking lot. We unhooked our bikes from the …
