Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Altenberg do Heidenau

This ride takes you from the scenic mountain town of Altenberg in the Ore Mountains down to the riverside city of Heidenau on the Elbe. You’ll start at around 777 meters above sea level—so expect some invigorating fresh air and maybe a chill at the start! Most of the 65 km route is paved (with a good chunk on quiet roads and tracks), but you’ll also hit some charming gravel and ground sections, so a sturdy bike is a plus.

The first part brings a gentle climb, but don’t worry—the route’s mainly downhill from there, dropping over 1,100 meters on your way north. Altenberg is famous for its winter sports and idyllic mountain setting, while Heidenau marks your arrival on the Elbe, just southeast of Dresden, known for its parks and historic old town.

Take your time, enjoy the mix of forests and rural landscapes, and soak up that thrill as you descend toward the river. Perfect for anyone who loves big scenery and a satisfying ride!
