Pohrsdorf–Grumbach Scenic Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A massive amount of loose gravel has been spread here, making it difficult to navigate. So it's currently not suitable for road bikes.

View from Höhenstraße

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

High-altitude road with a view at both ends, interrupted by a straight-ahead descent through the forest. Very nice path section with a great view far into Elbland.

Beautiful path across the fields on the old railway embankment. Pleasant to moving surface. Of course no cars. Definitely plan, if you are driving nearby.

Small connecting road between Unkersdorf and Kaufbach. Bissel goes up and down, asphalt as far as ok, rolls well.
At the highest point there is a rest area above Unkersdorf.

Scenic road between Steinbach and Unkersdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice little road between the villages, rolls well and meanders comfortably through the fields. Just before Unkersdorf there is a beautiful view of the Elbe valley.

Small connecting road between Pennrich and Steinbach. It goes up and down Bissel, but rolls smoothly, asphalt is good 😊
