Directions

The tour starts on the Elbe cycle path at the junction to Sörnewitz. Cycle into the village here and turn left onto Dresdner Straße, follow it only briefly towards Boselspitze, then turn right again onto Boselweg. Follow the road around the Spaargebirge, then turn right onto the cycle path to Köhlerstraße. Follow this road to the left and then after approx. 400 m turn right onto the wide dirt road (Mittelweg). Follow this until you reach the entrance to Niederau, then continue on the main road to the center of the village, turn left onto Göbener Straße and shortly afterwards turn right onto Teichstraße.

After the pond, turn right towards Oberauer Straße and follow this road. In Oberau, ride past the moated castle, cross Thomas-Müntzer-Ring and Gröbener Weg, follow Großdobritzer Straße for approx. 600 m and then turn right onto Buschmühlenweg down to Buschmühle. Then descend briefly and push up the steep hill to get back onto the road.

At the next fork, turn left onto the forest road. If you wish, turn left again directly to the Waldbad or continue straight ahead along the route through the forest for a long time to reach the entrance to Coswig. Cross the town via Grenzweg, Spitzgrundstraße and Auerstraße until you reach the small suburb of Brockwitz. Cycle a short distance along Dresdner Straße and turn left into Borngasse, which leads onto the Elbe cycle path.

Turn right there to get back to the starting point in Sörnewitz.
