Quick ride by bicycle from Freital to Radebeul

Set out from Freital, a charming town on the Weißeritz river just southwest of Dresden, known for its historic mining roots and relaxing parks. Your ride covers about 18 km, mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, so it’s a chill journey—perfect for a steady cruise rather than an all-out sprint.

You’ll gently climb and descend through the rolling landscape (with about 150 meters up and 200 meters down), and the route’s almost entirely paved—great news for road bikes! A sliver of the way uses paths or paving stones, but nothing too rough.

Roll into Radebeul at the end—famous for its lush vineyards and old-world charm, and also as the home of classic German author Karl May. Grab a coffee or a local glass of wine to celebrate. It’s a great ride for anyone who wants a relaxing escape with a dash of Saxon scenery.
