Guided E-Bike Tour through the Elbe Valley to Pillnitz and Back - only in German
Experience Dresden at its best-relaxed, comfortable, and effortless.
Riding modern, comfortable e-bikes and accompanied by a friendly guide, this diverse tour takes you from the historic Old Town through the picturesque Elbe Valley to the magnificent Pillnitz Palace.
Our e-bike tour begins in Dresden's historic Old Town. From there, we ride past major landmarks, enjoying our first impressive views of the city and the Elbe River. Traveling along the river offers a particularly charming perspective of Dresden. We pass the imposing Elbe Castles and eventually reach the famous "Blue Wonder" bridge-one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
We follow the cycle path along the Elbe meadows, riding past quaint, idyllic riverside villages on our way to Pillnitz.
After 12 km and a short crossing on an Elbe ferry, we arrive at Pillnitz Palace-Dresden's most beautiful palace. The former summer residence of Saxon electors and kings delights visitors with its extraordinary Far Eastern-inspired architecture and expansive gardens.
Your guide will lead you through magnificent avenues and past historic pavilions. Pillnitz Palace is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and immerse yourself in the history of Saxony.
