Single Centred Tour: Dresden and surroundings in 7 days

Detailed tour description

Day 1: Individual arrival to Dresden
Do not miss out on the opportunity to get to know the baroque city of Dresden by bicycle! Within a short period of time, you are able to visit the sights of the Old Town or the cozy bars of the Neustadt quarter from your centrally located hotel.

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.

Day 3: Bicycle tour to Saxon Switzerland (approx. 45 km)
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. On your way you will see bizarre rock formations, the Königstein Fortress, the famous Bastei Bridge and the Pillnitz Castle, which used to be the former summer residence of August the Strong.

Day 4: City tour Dresden
Today everything revolves around Dresden. Leave your bike behind and take the ship, the bus and the Dresden Funicular Railway to go on a tour of discovery. In the afternoon, sufficient time remains for activities such as going for a stroll, shopping, taking a break or cycling.

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 Germany's 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 cycle your way back to the hotel.

Day 6: At free disposal
Whether you visit the Tharandt Forest or the Dresden Heathland – the surrounding region of Dresden offers a wide selection of day trips. Not to mention that Dresden by itself has a lot for you to discover, too!

Day 7: Departure from Dresden
After your 6 days in Dresden we wish you a pleasant way home. We hope the stay and bike rides around Dresden have left a lasting impression!
