Half-timbered houses on the Elbe Cycle Path

Highlight • Historical Site

Idyllic half-timbered row houses directly on the banks of the Elbe. There is also a place to stop for a bite to eat, perfect for a short break.

Right-bank Elbe Cycle Path through the Elbe Meadows

Highlight • Cycleway

Coming from Walternienburg, shortly before the Barby ferry, I chose the cycle path through Elbauen to Dornburg, which was signposted as an alternative route. The double-track path made of concrete drives very well.

August 8, 2025,Von Rathaus Schönebeck links und rechts an der Elbe entlang

Today we cycled from Schönebeck to Barby, both sides of the Elbe.
At first, we had bad luck (due to construction 🚧) and had to take a long detour.
