You are riding up the Elbe River. Probably you will be cycling easy. Because the wind is usually coming from the north, you will not have to face the headwind. The path is going along the Elbe Valley and therefore you have not to manage any climbs.

Nevertheless we would recommend the tour only for children older than 13 years, because the first two sections of the tour are quite long and require a certain speed. But you don’t have to be extraordinarily sporty to ride the tour.

This 5-day tour combines the challenge of a low mountain range route with the beauty of Elbe Valley and cultural excursions.

You start the tour in the Saxon Switzerland and cycle two days through the winding green, woody mountains and the national park with its Sandstone Mountains, canyons and Table Mountains. You will tour the largest European mountain castle called Königstein. From the Bastei you will have breathtaking views of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
