Elbe Riverside Trail (Pillnitz to Dresden)

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful, little-traveled way on the right bank of the river downstream.

Niederpoyritz–Laubegast Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

Practical thing these Elbe ferries. You don't have to drive to the next bridge, but change the banks of the Elbe without a detour if you have the opportunity. It's always an experience.

View of Dresden TV Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Elbe Cycle Path on the left side of the Elbe, the view at this height is a delight. The many villas and the green slopes of the Elbe are a bit distracting. 😉

Historic towpath on the Elbe

Highlight • Trail

"Before the advent of steam shipping, trawlers did a difficult but also respected job. This type of human-powered movement of ships is also known as towing and was used primarily upstream. They pulled ships upstream when the wind was unfavorable.
Bent over in single file, the "Bomätscher" struggled step by step along the towpath.
At that time, along navigable waters such as the Elbe, there were so-called Bomätscher linen or towpaths. There were communities on the Elbe that lived essentially from the work of the men as Bomätschers, such as Lorenzkirch, Merschwitz, Parey and Loschwitz (now part of Dresden).
In some places, a paved path can be seen directly on the banks of the Elbe: the historic towpath is still partially preserved in the Dresden city area. Steam shipping has only been around for about 150 years. On both sides of the Elbe, you can see sections of a path paved with reddish sandstone blocks. Path close to the water. If you look at the stones more closely, you will notice that small drawings are carved into the soft sandstone." - dresdenausflug.de/bomaetscher-und-dresdner-treidelpfad

Körnergarten beer garden at the Blue Wonder
