Cycling day trip from Albertstadt to Senftenberg

This scenic ride kicks off in Albertstadt, Dresden’s historic former barracks district, now buzzing with creative spaces, museums, and parks. You’ll head north towards Senftenberg, covering about 85 km through the heart of Saxony and Brandenburg. Most of your ride glides along quiet roads and smooth asphalt, so you can really enjoy cruising.

You’ll pass through charming small towns, plenty of greenery, and—if you’re lucky—a few stretches of tranquil forest paths and lakeside views. Expect a gentle mix of short climbs (351 meters ascent) and long, easy descents (395 meters down), so nothing too hilly.

At the finish, you’ll roll into Senftenberg—famous for its sprawling lake (Senftenberger See). It’s a popular spot for a post-ride swim or just relaxing by the water. With only a handful of gravel or unpaved sections, this is a route that’s perfect for touring bikes and anyone looking for a laid-back day in the saddle. Happy riding!
