July 5, 2023,R1 Tag 10 von Wittenberg nach Bad Belzig

The day began with a tour of Wittenberg on the Elbe. Of course, the church door, to which Martin Luther attached his 95 theses, was also a must. Now we continued cycling, through forests and fields, meadows and small towns where almost everything was deserted. Today's destination was Bad Belzig, where it was really difficult to get a room.

There are no rest stops along the way, so make sure you have a good breakfast before setting off.
In Brandenburg, the road is almost entirely paved, which unfortunately isn't the case for the Saxony-Anhalt side. There are sections of unpaved forest and field paths, which, when churned up and laden with heavy luggage, can pose a certain challenge.
