Bikepacking from Dresden to Wittenburg

This scenic ride takes you from the baroque splendor of Dresden all the way to the charming town of Wittenburg. You’ll pedal for about 180 km, mostly along paved and asphalt roads, so it’s a great pick for a long day (or two!) in the saddle. The route gently undulates, with just enough climb and descent (around 270 m up and 320 m down) to keep things interesting—but nothing too steep.

Starting in Dresden, you might want to grab a quick look at the famous Frauenkirche or the historic old town before heading out. The journey weaves through quiet roads, peaceful tracks, and a few stretches of bike path. Expect plenty of countryside vibes and maybe a village bakery or two along the way.

Your destination, Wittenburg, is a small town in Saxony-Anhalt with a medieval past and plenty of authentic East German charm—think traditional houses and leafy lanes. It’s an ideal, low-key spot to rest up after your adventure. Enjoy the ride!
