Lust for life at rivers Moldau and Elbe

It will be hard to decide if start or end of this journey is more attractive. In imposing Prague the tour starts, full of history, lots of places of interest, coloured through lust for life. In Dresden the tour finds its end: Zwinger, Semper opera and Frauenkirche are competing against the beauty of Prague, trying to attract your attention.

In-between the cities you cycle on paths along the rivers Moldau and Elbe, you visit small, picturesque villages, you cross romantic river landscapes. Before Bad Schandau you pass the boarder. Bastei rock is awaiting you here and offering a wide view over the Elb valley, onto bizarre table mountains and impressing nature landscapes. Well, maybe you like the way from Prague to Dresden more than the cities itself?

Itinerary

We recommend parking your car in Dresden. Afterwards you go by transfer to Prague. Welcome briefing in the eventing and distribution of rental bikes (if booked) in Prague.

In the golden city many places of interest can be admired. Visit the Hradschin with the old king palace, stroll over the well-known Karlsbridge or dive into the diversified nightlife with innumerable cultural events.

Today you cycle along the river Moldau. The strains of ascents are instantly rewarded by fast descents. Admire the mouth of Moldau and Elbe from the palace hill of Melnik. Melnik is the heart of the Bohemian wine growing area.

Via Roudnice you reach the fortress Terezin. From Terezin only a few kilometres have to be covered to reach the destination of today Litomerice (Leitmeritz) with its beautiful houses.

After only about 20 km you reach the city Usti nad Labem Aussig. On the way you can admire the ruin of the old fortress Schreckenstein (literally meaning "horror-castle") situated on the right bank on top of a 100 m high steep rock. In the afternoon you reach Decin.

Today you cross the boarder to Germany and soon you see the first rocks of the Elbe sandstone massive. Past bizarre rock formations the Elbe flows past the fortress Königstein (King Stone). Visit the biggest fortification and enjoy the wonderful view into the Elb valley.

Past castle Pillnitz you cycle to Dresden. You pass the “blue wonder” and the palaces at the river. Due to the short route you have enough time for sight-seeing in the old city of Dresden.
