Elbe-Nassau-Friedewald Cycle Route

The starting point of this cycle route is located directly on the Elbe Cycle Path and is ideally suited for a detour to the north of the region. Right at the beginning towers the Boselspitze - it is part of the smallest mountain range in Saxony, the Spaargebirge. After a short walk at almost 200 metres altitude, there is an impressive view over the Elbe valley and, in addition to the Botanical Garden, local wine can be tasted in the Boselspitze guesthouse. Such a wine tasting is also worthwhile directly in the first village to be passed on the tour: Sörnewitz. The wineries Henke and Schuh invite you to stop by here.

On the way further, the mountain range is left behind on the left and the Nassau landscape is passed through - formerly a wetland on the Elbe, now a landscape conservation area. On wide paths, the route leads across fields along a ditch landscape. If you feel like it, turn here in the direction of Weinböhla. There, a visit to the Velocium - the Saxon bicycle experience world with an interactive exhibition about the two-wheeler and a historical workshop - is worthwhile.

The route continues north towards Niederau and Oberau. The Oberau water castle is located directly on the route. The Buschmühle, which follows shortly afterwards, is also worth a stop - there is a gondola pond in the outdoor area where you can paddle a pirate ship.

For even more cooling in summer, a stop at the Oberau forest spa, just a few metres from the cycle path, is recommended. The further route also offers cool paths, as it leads through the large forest area, the Friedewald, until you reach the town of Coswig. The town is crossed and you reach the Elbe Cycle Path again, which leads through the small village of Brockwitz. Along the Elbe, you then roll back to the starting point near Sörnewitz.
