Trip details
Day 1: Switzerland – Dresden
Journey to Dresden, the baroque city known as "Florence on the Elbe". The Zwinger, the Semperoper and the rebuilt Frauenkirche shape its impressive skyline. Arrival in Dresden in the evening.
Day 2: Dresden – Pirna
Your first cycle tour follows the Elbe upstream, past the picturesque Pillnitz Palace, to Pirna, gateway to Saxon Switzerland. A city walk introduces you to its charming old town. Afterwards you head back to Dresden. (35 km)
Day 3: Dresden – Radebeul –
Moritzburg
On an easy cycle path you reach Radebeul, also known as "Saxon Nice" thanks to its mild climate. The historic Lössnitzgrundbahn takes you on to Moritzburg, where the magnificent moated palace once served as a hunting residence of Augustus the Strong. Cycling through the Friedewald nature reserve and the Moritzburg lake district, you return to Dresden. (35 km)
Day 4: Meissen
Following the Elbe downstream, you reach the porcelain town of Meissen on a flat route. Along the way, the vineyards of the Saxon Wine Route line the cycle path. At the world-famous porcelain manufactory you learn how "white gold" has been handcrafted for over 300 years. Meissen Cathedral and Albrechtsburg Castle can be visited optionally, and a stroll through the winding old town with the Frauenkirche porcelain chime is also worthwhile. The return to Dresden is enjoyed relaxed on board a boat. (25 km)
