Elbe Cycle Path by the flood protection wall

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A quiet cycle path connecting Heidenau and Pirna. It passes under the Sachsenbrücke bridge. There are plenty of good rest stops along the way.

The real advantage of this highlight: Anyone planning a tour with a route planner will inevitably end up taking the ferry. You practically always have to search for points of interest. Here, you have a point of interest if you want to cycle along the left bank of the Elbe.

Pirna Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Pirna is located in the beautiful Elbe Valley and is surrounded by vineyards and castles. The medieval town center is well worth a visit and there are inviting opportunities to satisfy the hunger and thirst of cyclists on every corner. Also for the night the small town offers enough possibilities. By S-Bahn Pirna is well connected to the supra-regional railway network in Dresden.

Climb to Struppen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

It may still be uphill, but going down is absolutely no fun with the RR. The potholes are so big, you have to be afraid of never getting out. Uphill ok, downhill try to avoid.

Update (10/22): an intermediate piece got a new asphalt surface. Unfortunately, the segments before and after are still very borderline for racing cyclists on descents.

Beautiful road between Struppen and Krietzschwitz

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice and relatively quiet street from Struppen to the main street. Good to drive with only a moderate incline. I like to ride on the Elberadweg to Obervogelgesang and then on to Struppen or the "road through the forest" to the Ore Mountains.

Picturesque forest road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

After an endless construction period, the road is finally open again and a pleasure to ride on a racing bike.

Lower Bahre Valley Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very scenic, low-traffic route along the stretcher from Zehista to Friedrichswalde. Asphalt is great and the ascent is very easy to crank up. I like to ride here again and again to gain height in a relaxed manner and to continue via Ottendorf and Cotta in the direction of Saxon Switzerland on the left bank of the Elbe.
