This ride takes you from the famous Baroque beauty of Dresden to the historic mining town of Freiberg. Covering just over 51 kilometers, it’s a great single-day adventure if you’re up for some climbing—there’s about 840 meters of ascent, so get ready for undulating hills as you leave the Elbe valley behind.

You’ll kick things off in Dresden, a city packed with art, history, and riverside charm. The route is mostly on quiet roads and paved surfaces, giving you a relaxed vibe for much of the ride, though you’ll also encounter a mix of paths, gravel, and a few stretches of paving stones—nothing too wild, but enough to keep things interesting.

As you head southwest, you’ll notice the scenery shift from urban to rural, with green fields and Saxon villages dotting your route. Eventually, you’ll roll into Freiberg, once home to booming silver mines and now a UNESCO World Heritage site with a lovely medieval center.

Bring water, enjoy the changing landscapes, and reward yourself at the end with a stroll through Freiberg’s historic streets!
