September 27, 2025,Elberadweg von Bad Schandau nach Schmilka

Today my Hubbediedel was allowed to cycle along the Elbe. A very nice bike path and, for me as a beginner, relatively rear-side-friendly. ;-D
Next time, I'll take the ferry to the other side of the Elbe and then back across again in Schmilka.
