Bikepacking from Dresden to Prague

Set off from Dresden, the Baroque gem of Germany, and pedal your way to the heart of Czechia, Prague. This route covers a bit over 227 km and is mostly on smooth, paved surfaces, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the views rather than dodge potholes. About 41% is on dedicated cycleways and a generous chunk is along quiet roads, so it’s a relaxed ride for the most part.

The route has over 1,500 meters of ascent, but this just means you’ll be rewarded with some rolling countryside—think vineyards, little villages, and riverside stretches. Expect a mix of scenery as you cross from Saxony into Bohemia, following a path that for centuries connected these two historic cities.

You’ll finish in Prague, the City of a Hundred Spires, bursting with medieval lanes, grand squares, and riverside cafes—perfect for a celebratory beer. Whether you’re a seasoned bike adventurer or just want to soak up some Central European culture, this ride ticks all the boxes!
