Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Magnificent old embankment. Coming from Sora it goes comfortably downhill, through the wonderful valley of the Kleine Triebisch. The route is absolutely great, 100 percent recommendable. I am very thrilled.

October 2, 2021,Meissner "Oh"

Today's cycle lap, finally for two again, not quite as long as usual, but went well, with the best cycling weather, over the outer lap of the Meissner Eight. Instead of an eight it became an "Oh".
My mountain bike was fine again, so there were no technical noises to endure.
From our point of view a successful, highly recommended …

The northern part of the Meißner 8 is also very scenic, but the interesting part, the Käbschütztal, is more of a trail in many places. I don't know who designates something like that as a cycle route (and in some cases as a cycle path).

Today it was the turn of the "Meißner Acht" again. According to the brochure, a 70 km tour.

For the 6 year old "birthday" of my Haibike, we used the great autumn weather extensively.
Mostly good drivable roads and paths. A natural path through the Käbschützal valley. You have to pedal hard from the Rehbockschänke on the Elbe to Schloss Batzdorf. That's what you're on the road for - right?

Looking at the map, it's more of a zero for Meissen, but I'd give the tour a hundred. Always a wonderful tour!

A must at least once a year, the Meißner 8. And always a pleasure!

Meißen is known for the imposing Albrechtsburg, the pretty old town and of course for the "white gold" - the Meissen porcelain. But the area around the city on the Elbe is also particularly beautiful, especially if you explore it by bike. On Meißner 8 you get to know the Meissen area on the left, either
