Cycling day trip from Meissen to Radebeul

Set off from the historic town of Meissen, famous for its stunning Albrechtsburg Castle and world-renowned porcelain. The ride to Radebeul is about 20 km and mostly flat—perfect for an easy-going spin with only gentle climbs along the way. You’ll be rolling almost entirely on smooth, paved cycleways that wind through picturesque Saxon countryside with vineyards, meadows, and the Elbe River often in sight.

The route keeps you away from traffic, using quiet roads and dedicated cycle paths for most of your journey, so it’s a chilled-out ride—even if you’re not a seasoned cyclist. Expect only the occasional old-world cobblestone to keep things interesting!

You’ll finish in Radebeul, known as the gateway to Saxony’s wine region. Take time to explore its pretty villas and maybe grab a taste of the local wine before you head back. This route is scenic, friendly, and very doable—ideal for soaking up some Saxon culture at a relaxed pace.
