Rowerowa z Heidenau do Pirna

Spin from Heidenau to Pirna on an easy, riverside ride that sticks close to the Elbe. It’s almost entirely flat and paved, with most of the route on dedicated cycleways and some quiet streets—smooth asphalt with a couple of short paving‑stone sections. Perfect for a relaxed cruise.

Start in Heidenau, where the Barockgarten Großsedlitz is a worthy pre‑ride detour if you’re into manicured terraces and baroque flair. Then follow the Elbe Cycle Path downstream, watching river traffic and wide meadows slip by.

Rolling into Pirna, you’ll hit one of Saxony’s prettiest old towns—think sandstone facades, a cozy market square, and café tables that are hard to resist. Look up to Schloss Sonnenstein on the hill, and remember you’re at the gateway to Saxon Switzerland if you want to continue deeper into the sandstone cliffs later.

Distance is about 7.5 km with only gentle up and down—easygoing from start to finish.
