The bakery with its outdoor area is really beautifully designed with natural materials and invites you to linger; it's even open on Sundays.

The church was built after 1450 outside the city wall over an old Spree crossing. According to legend, it was a token of gratitude from the citizens for saving the city from the Hussite attack of 1429, attributed to Archangel Michael. The vault, with its paintings, which are still largely preserved in their original form, was completed in 1498. Since 1619, the church has served as a place of worship for the townspeople surrounding Bautzen. It was often damaged in various wars but never destroyed. After several reconstructions, the late Gothic hall church, with its sparse furnishings, has been restored to its former glory. See: https://st-michael-bautzen.de/die-michaeliskirche/

Beautiful bike path along the shore. Lake views are only occasionally visible, however. Easy to ride, few rooty hills...
