By bicycle from Radebeul to Moritzburg

Cycling from Radebeul to Moritzburg

Hop on your bike in Radebeul, a charming town famous for its vineyards and connection to author Karl May, and set out north towards the fairytale destination of Moritzburg. This roughly 12-kilometer ride offers a great mix of peaceful country roads and leafy tracks, so you’ll enjoy mostly smooth pedaling with a few gravel stretches to keep things interesting. You'll gradually climb around 113 meters, but the rewarding scenery more than makes up for the effort.

As you make your way out of Radebeul through quiet residential lanes and gently rolling hills, keep an eye out for glimpses of the sprawling Saxon countryside. Approaching Moritzburg, the highlight is undoubtedly the grand Moritzburg Castle, rising from its reflective lake like something straight out of a storybook.

Total ride time is a bit over an hour at a relaxed pace—perfect for a morning adventure, with plenty of spots to stop for a picnic or photos along the way. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a stroll around the castle grounds when you arrive!
