Elbe Cycle Route

The Elbe Cycle Route starts in Špindlerův Mlýn in the Giant Mountains.

After a fairly adventurous part of the Route on the Czech side of the river one reaches the famous Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Bohemian Switzerland and Saxon Switzerland and crosses the border to Germany.

Shortly after this the Route leads through, Dresden and later through other cities like Meißen, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Dessau, Magdeburg, Tangermünde, Lauenburg, Hamburg, Cuxhaven.

A lot of restaurants and pensions offer their service to the weary after a day of cycling.

It is practically downhill all the way from Dresden to Cuxhaven while the other direction mostly offers slight tailwinds.
