Cycling day trip from Ottendorf-Okrilla to Großröhrsdorf

This ride takes you from Ottendorf-Okrilla—a small Saxon town with roots stretching back to the 11th century—through some scenic, quiet countryside to Großröhrsdorf, known for its ribbon weaving tradition and charming local architecture.

Covering just over 20 km, the route is mostly on paved, low-traffic roads and dedicated cycleways, making it a relaxed outing, though you’ll climb a good 225 meters along the way. You’ll pass rolling fields and small villages typical of the area. There are a few steeper sections, but nothing too challenging if you pace yourself.

Großröhrsdorf itself is a nice spot to explore, with cozy cafés and parks for a post-ride break. Since about a third of the route’s surface info is missing, expect a surprise stretch or two—just adds to the adventure! All in all, it’s a great local ride connecting two friendly communities, with enough variety to keep things interesting.
