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.

For the fourth starting point, we had parked the motorhome at the campsite in Torgau. On the cycle path …

After a very rainy morning, the sun and the west wind came out. Difficult to ride against this strong and gusty wind. Day ended in the rain. We were happy to come back.

First we drive on the right side of the Elbe, the signage leaves a lot to be desired and the start of the tour is difficult. Then it will be better. We pass several small …

On the holiday we planned the tour from Torgau up the Elbe. Actually it was supposed to go to Mauken to the Elbe ferry. But the wind was so strong that we crossed over in Prettin (for €1.50 per person and bike) and cycled back to the starting point.
