Bikepacking da Lipsia a Dresda

Here’s a picturesque ride from Leipzig to Dresden, covering about 160 km across the heart of Saxony! Starting in Leipzig—a city famed for its vibrant music scene, rich trade history, and cool café culture—you’ll roll out mostly on paved surfaces, gliding through serene countryside and along quiet roads and bike paths. The route is gently undulating, so you’ll rack up around 685 meters of climbing by the time you’re done, but nothing too steep.

Along the way, expect sweeping fields, quaint villages, and maybe a castle or two perched in the distance. It’s a great way to discover the slower side of Saxony, with plenty of opportunities for coffee stops and local pastries. After your adventure, you’ll glide into Dresden, known for its magnificent baroque architecture and the famous Frauenkirche. Whether you're riding for the scenery or city vibes at either end, this is a classic Saxon route perfect for a day (or two) of relaxed cycling discovery!
