Gita in bici di un giorno da Misnia a Dresda

This ride takes you from Meissen—famous for its stunning porcelain and fairytale castle—straight into the heart of Dresden, the “Florence on the Elbe.” It’s a relaxed 31 km cruise with only gentle ups and downs, so it suits almost everyone. Most of your wheels roll on smooth paved or asphalt surfaces, with stretches along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so you can actually enjoy the scenery rather than dodging traffic.

Leaving Meissen’s historic old town, you’ll wind your way past vineyards and the banks of the Elbe river, catching glimpses of Saxony’s countryside. As you get closer to Dresden, keep an eye out for impressive architecture dotting the riverside—Dresden is famous for its reconstructed Baroque gems like the Frauenkirche.

With 98% of the route paved and hardly any busy road sections, this is a perfect ride for soaking up the culture and natural beauty of the Elbe valley. Grab a local pastry in Meissen before setting off, and celebrate in Dresden with a riverside coffee or maybe a stroll through the old town!
