Germany–Czech Republic border post at Dolní Žleb (Elbe Cycle Route, Schöna)

Highlight • Monument

It's great that these days you can cycle across the border on the Elbe or Labe cycle paths so relaxed and without any controls.

That's what I call true freedom. Hopefully it stays that way forever!

Czech-German border on the Elbe Cycle Path

What seems so banal today was by no means a matter of course back then: just crossing the border by bike was only reserved for the professionals on the Friedensfahrt. …

Děčín Castle and Bridge

The lap goes to the end of the 10th century. It is located on the opposite bank of the Elbe. However, there is a nice photo stop here.

October 3, 2023,Schöna-Decin-Ústí nad Labem

Today there was a bike tour with Katrin from the cycling group.
It should go from Schmilka to the neighboring country.
The meeting was at 8:22 a.m. in Schmilka (train arrival).
Before that I went to see a sunrise.
For this I chose a place next to the Zirkelstein that I knew from a hike.
I parked my car in …

June 6, 2023,3. Usti nad Labem nach Bad Schandau

After an overnight stay in the noisy and busy city of Usti nad Labem, we continue along the Elbe from the Czech Republic to Germany. The landscape from Usti nad Labem to Decin is not so nice because there is a lot of industry. Cycle path briefly to Usti on a busy road. Then back on the usual bike path …

October 17, 2022,Radtour Bad Schandau - Usti nad Labem und retur

Perhaps the last chance for a long tour in almost summer temperatures.
Perfect time to enjoy the foliage and views along the banks of the Elbe. Unfortunately, the air was very humid and cloudy, which of course didn't make the photos perfect.
Well, they are still a good reminder.
Cycle path no. 2 in CZ is very well signposted and …

This part of the Elbe cycle path is so fantastic that you are simply amazed every 100m. In the best weather with my First Lady, a guarantee for poor progress... 😅
Unfortunately, the Czech ferry is currently at a standstill due to flooding. So if possible - given the current water level, you should set off on the right side …

Last part of the Elbe Cycle Path in the Czech Republic, after 8 days and about 400km: wonderful ... very well-developed route ... driving here is simply fun.
Decin is worth a visit .. Coffee at the church ..... and this part of the Elbe Cycle Path is also an absolute highlight in terms of landscape.

September 12, 2024,2024-13 SüdLand Elbe: Usti Decin Bad Schandau

Unplanned and replanned, I actually wanted to start my Bohemian Forest trip today. In view of the bad weather on the Moldau and Elbe, I threw everything out at short notice. Luckily I hadn't booked any accommodation yet. Just missed the exit in Decin, so Usti out. I don't need a map for the Elbe cycle path, better in the …
