Quick ride by bicycle from Niederschöna to Freiberg

This scenic cycling route takes you from Niederschöna, a peaceful little village in Saxony, to the historic mining town of Freiberg. It’s about 17.5 km long, and mostly follows quiet country roads—perfect for a relaxing ride. You’ll roll past fields, patches of forest, and a smattering of pretty rural homes along the way.

Watch out for a few hills: you’ll climb just under 250 meters in total, but the grades are generally gentle—nothing too gruelling. Surfaces are mainly paved or asphalt, but keep an eye out for some short gravel and slightly rougher patches here and there (especially closer to the towns).

Freiberg makes a rewarding endpoint! This charming town is famous for its centuries-old silver mines and beautiful old city center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. When you arrive, park your bike and explore the historic streets, or grab a coffee in one of Freiberg’s cozy cafés.

All in all, it’s a laid-back ride with a touch of adventure and plenty of rewarding scenery. Enjoy!
