Check the map carefully beforehand. The bike path signage is slightly misleading. Cycle at your own risk (signs apply), but it's completely easy once you've found your way. Barriers are easy to bypass.

Great rest stop, 76 m above sea level, 35 m above the Elbe, with a fantastic view. Today we even saw the Brocken in the Harz Mountains!
