Biking tour along the Elbe

You want to enjoy the river Elbe by bike? You want to take a different look on the surroundings of Dresden? Then we just have the right thing for you: our bicycle tour on Saturday, 1st June 2013! The bicycle tour starts at 9.30 a.m. near the main station and goes alongside the Elbe to Pirna, crossing castles, the Elbe meadow, the bridge "Blue Wonder" and the television tower. In Pirna we make a small brake to eat some tasty ice cream and enjoy the old city. Then we chance the other side of the Elbe to ride to Pratzschwitz .Right there is a swimming lake. But we have to mention, that it is a mixed swimming lake which means that you can swim with or without swimming suits. There is also a small snack bar where you can buy something to eat or drink. From Pratzschwitz we go to Pillnitz. Since the bicycle lane ends in Pillnitz we take the ferry to cross the river and ride back to start point, the main station.

The route is about 40 km and is very flat without big hills.

We start at the main station in Dresden and take the train to Krippen. We meet at 9.45 at the east end of platform 18. The train takes 50 min to Krippen where we will take the ferry to cross the Elbe. Now the walking starts! We will walk up the mountains called “Schrammsteine” to enjoy the magnificient view and have a little picknick. On our way back we will see some more, before we take the ferry and the train back to Dresden, where we will arrive around 18.00.

The tour covers about 10 km and involves some rocky and uneven parts. It is important to wear stury shoes (boots) and to have adequate clothing (e.g. rain protection). You also need to bring something to eat and to drink as there will be no restaurants on the way.

You don’t have to sign up for the tour, just be at the main station on Saturday at 9.45. As long as you bring your student ID/ Semesterticket with you, the tour will be free of charge for you! So don’t forget!!!

We are looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
