The bridge over the Elbe is the only one nearby and is shared by cars, cyclists and pedestrians. The view of the Elbe and Wittenberg is fantastic.

Nice cycling weather.
A few roads on the side of the Wartenburg, but hardly any vehicles on the road on Sunday. Except for the forest, everything was there for a nice round.

A small tour through the classic Elbe floodplain in central Germany. South of the Elbe, the route takes you on country roads that are hardly used, over fields and through beautiful, small villages. Then it goes in Elster over the ferry and on the Elberadweg back to Wittenberg.

Actually a nice tour. But just after Wartenburg the cable for the rear brake broke. Luckily the bike shop on Dredner Strasse in Wittenberg was open. Now the bike is OK again and I can go on more tours. I wish everyone a good trip.

It was a very easy tour, mostly in nature. Little incline, ferry, cafe, water, perfect.

When the weather was nice, we got on the bike again. Interesting tour. Crossed by ferry to Elster. From then on to Wittenberg strong headwind. Otherwise it was easy to drive the entire lap. As I found out, the pictures are a bit messed up.
