  • Day 2: Bicycle tour to Meissen (approx. 30 km)
    You are going to Meissen today, cycling along the beautiful Gohliser windmill on the left side of the River Elbe. Meissen is inseparably connected to the subject of porcelain; a visit to the famous factory therefore is an absolute necessity. Later you are taking the train back to Dresden.

    We recommend a train ride with the city train to Bad Schandau in the morning. From here you go 45 impressive kilometres back to Dresden along the river Elbe.

    Overnight stay in Dresden
  • Day 5: Bicycle tour to Moritzburg Hunting Lodge (approx. 50 km)
    In the morning you will cycle to Radebeul, which became well known because of Karl May, one of Germanys most widely read authors. A ride on the traditional narrow-gauge railway "Lößnitz Dachshund" (Lößnitzgrundbahn) will bring you to Moritzburg, where you can visit the former hunting lodge of the Saxonian Elector August the Strong. After touring through the pond landscape you return to Radebeul. From there you can either catch the city train or cycle your way back to the hotel.
