Cycling day trip from Dresden to Senftenberg

This scenic ride takes you from the heart of Dresden—a city famous for its baroque architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and riverside charm—all the way to Senftenberg, a lakeside town known for its beautiful nature and relaxed vibe.

You’ll roll out from the historic old town and gradually leave city life behind, following a route that’s a blend of quiet paved roads, smooth asphalt cycleways, and the occasional stretch of gravel or paving stones to keep things interesting. About 95 km of easy-to-moderate riding await, with gentle ascents and descents—perfect for immersing yourself in the tranquil Saxon countryside.

The journey itself is part of the adventure: you’ll pass through sleepy villages and green meadows, with much of the route dedicated to cyclists or lightly trafficked roads. Arriving in Senftenberg, reward yourself with a dip in the lake or a stroll through its charming town center. It’s a fun mix of city culture and lakeside relaxation—perfect for a day on the bike!
