Elbe Gate of Hartenfels Castle

Highlight • Castle

Architecturally fantastic is this access to the interior of the castle from the Elbe side. It is located directly on the Elbe cycle path, although you have to overcome a few small steps. The portal is definitely worth seeing.

September 7, 2022,3. Elberadweg : Löbsal - Torgau

The third stage exceeded the length of our actually planned "Relax" stages. No problem, of course, and in retrospect that's a good thing. Because the first 50 km could hardly be surpassed in terms of scenic monotony. A river cycle path may not always lead along the river, but the Elbe only occasionally made a brief guest appearance here. Instead, …

July 17, 2024,Magdeburg-Pirna Tag 5 Torgau - Nieschütz

Today we cycled to Nieschütz (near Diesbar-Seußlitz). Very nice area. Unfortunately a lot of wind and very warm. We wanted to explore Mühlberg, it's manageable. The old castle belongs to three Mexicans, and looks pitiful. Past the skyline of Riesa, well, I won't say anything.
Then we spent the night in the "8Zeilen" guesthouse, Ringstraße 1A, 01665 Diera-Zehren - a …

☀️🌡🚴🏻‍♀️ 🚴🏼‍♀️ 🥵 🥵
It's still hot, we're still pedaling and perspiring, but something is or will be different:
the passing landscape!
It becomes significantly hillier, the Elbe valley narrows and we pass many vineyards.
We Weserberglanders feel at home right away - all that's missing at home is the wine...

Today from Torgau with an overcast sky to Meissen. Drive through beautiful old towns. Overall nice route and surface. Well signposted in this section. About 20 km before Meissen it started to rain.

The second stage takes us from Meissen to Torgau. A severe thunderstorm forced us to quickly seek shelter. Added to that was a nasty headwind. Torgau is a gem with a beautiful old town and an imposing castle.

Strike and return! Right of the Elbe with a few detours to Torgau and back on the left of the Elbe - and the sun was beating down.

May 24, 2026,Elberadweg: Torgau - Riesa - Torgau

Today the route should lead us to the noodle city🍝 Riesa, for which we used the Elbe cycle path. The signage is good, with a few exceptions. It falters a bit, especially in and at the end of diversions (and there are quite a few of them).
Even on this section, you rarely see the Elbe. Instead, you get to …
