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.

Cherry Blossom Avenue Between Rennersdorf and Helmsdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Relatively quiet connecting road over the "mountain". Asphalt is still ok.

View of Stolpen Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this place you have a beautiful view of the city of Stolpen with its castle. On site there is also a break possibility with benches and a covered table. Highly recommended!

Wartenbergstraße — Ascent to Hocksteinschänke

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Relatively even, not too steep and scenic climb from the Polenztal to the Hocksteinschänke. Section of the former "Großdeutschlandring". I prefer the descent in the Polenztal and back up here …

Rathen Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A brilliant descent! Excellent asphalt and little traffic, as Rathen is a dead-end street for cars. Be careful in Rathen; there are three large speed bumps in the road after entering the village, all made of rough cobblestones.

View of the Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

A view of the Elbe like so many others. Unfortunately, there is no description of what is special about this point. But views of the Elbe are usually great. So also this one at exactly this point.
