A relaxed route that leads either from the Elbe cycle path in Kleinzadel, a few kilometers north of Meißen, to Moritzburg, but can also be ridden in the opposite direction.
The route starts in Kleinzadel and heads east along small roads, which always offer views of the adjacent fields to the right and left. A short detour for a culinary break, including a tasting of Saxon wine, can be made at the weekend at Bella Vista in the Winzerhof Golk (Herrenberg winery).
Afterwards, country lanes allow you to continue via Naundörfel and Ockrilla, past the Oberau tunnel monument. It is also worth making a stop in the park at the Oberau moated castle. For refreshment in summer, take a dip in the cool waters of the Oberau forest pool. The cycle tour is also exciting for children: at the next stop, Buschmühle, you can not only stop for refreshments, but also take a boat trip on the idyllic gondola pond around a pirate ship (from Easter to 1st Advent).
It stays cool as you continue through the scenic Friedewald forest, which offers tranquil paths in the direction of Moritzburg. Once there, the sights beckon for further discoveries - the famous baroque palace and the Käthe Kollwitz House are recommended for further stops before the tour ends in the center of Moritzburg.
