Cycling day trip from Torgau to Meissen

Start your cycling adventure in the historic town of Torgau, a place filled with Renaissance charm and a strong connection to Martin Luther. This is a perfect spot to grab a coffee and soak in some culture before hitting the road. Your destination is the picturesque town of Meissen, known for its stunning hilltop cathedral and famed Meissen porcelain.

The ride is about 82.6 kilometers and will take you on a delightful journey mostly on asphalt surfaces, with some sections of charming cobblestones and paving stones to keep things interesting. You'll climb a gentle 215 meters in elevation, with a max elevation hitting just over 125 meters, so it's quite manageable for most riders.

You'll cycle through quiet paths and roads, making for a peaceful journey with plenty of fresh air and nature views. Along the way, enjoy whizzing through sections of paths (37%) and quiet roads (27%), with the occasional track and cycleway keeping you connected to the great outdoors.

Once you reach Meissen, treat yourself to a tour of the porcelain factory, or simply unwind with a glass of local wine while enjoying the beautiful river views. Happy cycling!
