In bici da Albertstadt a Bannewitz

This ride kicks off in Albertstadt, a historic Dresden neighborhood known for its impressive military barracks and leafy surroundings. From here, you’ll head out south, sticking mostly to quiet roads and smooth asphalt (over 88%!), so it’s a perfect route if you’re looking for a relaxed spin without battling much traffic. As you make your way through the city outskirts, expect a bit of a workout—there’s around 200 meters of climbing in total, mostly gentle, though a few ramps might get your legs pumping.

In just under 15 km you’ll roll into Bannewitz, a charming gateway to Saxon Switzerland with lovely views back towards Dresden. Bannewitz itself is a peaceful town set on the Elbe’s edge, perfect for a breather and maybe a cheeky pastry at a local bakery.

Most of the ride’s on good pavement, but watch for the occasional cobblestone or gravel patch—nothing too gnarly, just enough to keep things interesting. All in all, it’s a fun, scenic trip connecting city history and countryside calm, great for a morning adventure or an easy-going afternoon ride.
