Elbe Cycle Path near Rathen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If you've cycled to the left of the Elbe enough, you should cycle from Rathen to Pirna via Wehlen! Asphalt that is just as easy to drive on, from time to time rocks and pretty houses line the path.

View of Königstein Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint
