Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Dresde à Bad Schandau

Saddle up for a beautiful ride from Dresden to Bad Schandau! Starting in Dresden, famous for its stunning baroque architecture and riverside charm along the Elbe, you’ll enjoy a nearly 48 km cruise that’s mostly flat with gentle inclines and descents through the green heart of Saxony.

The route is fabulously smooth: you'll be spinning mostly on asphalt and paved surfaces, cruising along quiet roads and scenic cycleways. The Elberadweg (Elbe Cycle Path) is a highlight here, offering fabulous river views and passing by vineyards, meadows, and sleepy villages. You might catch sight of the iconic Bastei rock formations in the distance as you get closer to Saxon Switzerland National Park.

Your journey wraps up in Bad Schandau, a pretty spa town nestled by the Elbe and a great base for exploring stunning sandstone cliffs and hiking trails in the surrounding park. Grab an ice cream or relax in the thermal baths—you’ve earned it after this scenic escape!
