One of the most popular long-distance cycle routes in Germany

Let yourself be tempted by a special experience - a cycle tour along the Elbe.
The Elbe Cycle Path is one of the most attractive and varied cycle routes in Europe.
From the Wadden Sea via the Elbe river belt mountains to Bohemia, 1,270 km of variety awaits you.
Here you can experience unique culture and vibrant cities, but also the almost untouched nature
of the Elbe floodplains. If you cycle as far as Prague, you will also get to know a piece of the Vltava. The gentle
gradient makes for relaxing hours on the bike. The Elbe Cycle Path logo shows you the way. Eighty percent of the route runs on an independent cycle path. The surface is predominantly asphalted and therefore good to very good to cycle on. There is only a slight difference in altitude from Prague to the mouth of the Elbe
.
