Scenic road between Schönfeld and Eschdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Old Railway Embankment Between Schullwitz and Wünschendorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Section of the old railway embankment. The old railway embankment is a well-developed and well-traveled way away from traffic. Somewhat annoying are the numerous cobbled driveways around Eschdorf.

Old Railway Embankment Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

For completeness, a piece of railway embankment from the old railway bridge to Dürröhrsdorf. Slightly longer "trackable" and moderate ascent through the forest.

Continuation of the Railway Embankment Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Unofficial continuation of the railway embankment to Helmsdorf. Could certainly go through as an old railway embankment, but was probably none. In Helmsdorf you have to continue on the road. However, with very little traffic.

Wilschdorf–Fischbach Country Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful & quiet route. However, if a car does come, it can get tight here due to the KFZ-Überholzwang.

View of Dresden from Bischofsweg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Quiet road connecting the towns of Ullersdorf and Kleinerkmannsdorf. The road winds its way up a hill to the foot of the Todberg. On the way, a refuge invites you to take a break and a view. Asphalt is great!
