Many old houses and the cobblestones take you back in time. The restaurants offer a varied cuisine. Many small shops offer their goods for sale. Take a look, everyone will find something here and not always just kitsch.

Once again, the classic Elbe Cycle Path...
The landscape is as beautiful as ever: blooming trees, yellow rapeseed fields, colorful flower meadows. And, as expected on such a sunny day, the cycle path is well-frequented. There are also young racing drivers in their speed craze and plenty of electric warhorses, often in packs, and riding to their full potential... 🤨 …

September 6, 2022,2. Elberadweg: Dresden - Löbsal

It rolled well. The first 20 km without major interruption always along the Elbe. More or less in the middle of the meadows, the bike ran almost alone on super flat asphalt. Time to enjoy the view, time to unwind thoughtlessly, time to relax. Only every now and then cobblestone passages pull me out of my thoughtlessness as a driver. …

A very beautiful tour on a well-maintained cycle path with no inclines along the Elbe. It's naturally quiet between the Elbe meadows. There are many rest areas and a few restaurants, although almost all of them were closed during my tour, which was to be expected on a Monday in late September.

Day 4 of our Elbe cycle path tour takes us to Dresden. The route is now much busier and much more varied. We stay on the right bank of the Elbe because our next accommodation is on this side and we have a beautiful view of the Meissen city skyline. Despite the heat, we cycle more in the sunshine, but …
