We cycled through beautiful countryside again today, unfortunately with a very strong headwind. We didn't see much of the Elbe, as we crossed the bridge in Torgau and continued cycling along the right bank. In Pretin, we were very impressed by Lichtenburg Castle and its history. It's unbelievable what happened there.

Castle is in bad condition. Beautifully developed network of cycle paths. Short stretches on the road. Hardly any traffic on Sunday.

Unfortunately, I had to cut the tour short. I injured my wrist in a fall, so I can no longer hold the handlebars. From Wittenberg, I took the train home.
