View of the Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is hard to imagine that in August 2002 the Elbe was up to the edge of the road and the ferryman was able to get off the road. It is about 8m above normal

View of the Weinberg Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Lohmener Straße you have a good (albeit short) view of the church from the Pillnitz vineyard. Definitely worth a photo opportunity in the evening sun.

Hosterwitz Side Street

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If you don't want to drive Pillnitzer Straße, you can use this quiet side street above Hosterwitz. There are also a few beautiful views of the Elbe Valley.

Relatively quiet connecting road over the "mountain". Asphalt is still ok.

Continuation of the Railway Embankment Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Unofficial continuation of the railway embankment to Helmsdorf. Could certainly go through as an old railway embankment, but was probably none. In Helmsdorf you have to continue on the road. However, with very little traffic.

Old Railway Embankment Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

For completeness, a piece of railway embankment from the old railway bridge to Dürröhrsdorf. Slightly longer "trackable" and moderate ascent through the forest.

Nice street. There is, however, a highlight: Liebethaler Straße and Allee with a view of the Elbe Valley.

Liebethal Gorge Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The road winds up from Wesenitz to Liebethal. Sometimes a bit tight, be careful with oncoming traffic.
