Tips from the Community
Cycle path very nice. Ascent in Niederstriegis a bit complicated. But beware, it's not a cycle path everywhere, there are always sections in between where cars are allowed.

The visit is worthwhile. On the market square, the districts of Lommatzsch are depicted as a ground relief. Around it, there are further sights.

Trinity Church, Riesa. Information: A neo-Romanesque church with a 75-meter-high tower, it dominates the cityscape and was consecrated on July 4, 1897. After the medieval monastery church, it was the first new church building in Riesa and became necessary primarily due to lack of space.

Going downhill here seems to roll by itself. There are a few potholes in places, but otherwise the road quality is good or very good, and traffic is also limited.
