Cycling day trip from Dresden to Radeberg

Dresden to Radeberg: Scenic Ride Through Saxony’s Green Fringe

This relaxed 23 km cycling route starts in the heart of Dresden, famous for its baroque architecture and riverside charm. You’ll quickly trade the bustling city vibe for peaceful, green outskirts as you wheel northeast toward Radeberg – yes, the town known for its iconic Radeberger beer!

The ride is mostly on paved and asphalted surfaces, mixing in some gentle gravel tracks and a sprinkle of cobblestones here and there, so it’s friendly for most bikes. You’ll use a nice variety of quiet roads, forest tracks, and the occasional dedicated cycleway, keeping things interesting and largely traffic-free.

There’s some gentle climbing—about 240 meters of ascent—but nothing too intense, so you can enjoy the countryside views without breaking too much of a sweat. Once in Radeberg, be sure to check out the picturesque old town and maybe treat yourself to a cold beer at the historic Radeberger brewery.

This is a perfect outing for anyone who loves combining city flair with the tranquility of rural Saxony!
