Route overview

Loop of 123 km, start and finish: Dresden. Around 1,800 m of climbing over this distance makes for a challenging profile, though not yet extreme. At about 11 h 35 min on the move (MTB/gravel, base pace 15 km/h), that is too long for one day — better in stages.

The route starts at 108 m above sea level and falls into 4 stretches: km 0–12 flat (+80 m / −15 m); km 12–57 rolling (+1,230 m / −750 m); km 57–98 rolling (+620 m / −1,160 m); km 98–123 flat (+30 m / −35 m). The longest climb starts at km 11 (5.5 km, averaging 3.0 %, +170 m). The high point is at km 57, at 661 m above sea level. Some stretches get properly steep. The route passes through, in this order: Borlas (km 21), Höckendorf (km 23), Obercunnersdorf (km 26), Röthenbach (km 35), Naundorf (km 48), Falkenhain (km 55) and 24 more.

The route passes Kursächsische Postmeilensäule (sight, km 1). Viewpoints along the route: Hausmannsturm (viewpoint, km 0) and 5 more. Huts and shelters along the route: Biwak DÜ Vogelgesang (shelter, km 96), Radlerstopp Niedervogelgesang (shelter, km 97) and 6 more. The course partly follows waymarked trails (EuroVelo 7, Elberadweg linkselbisch, Mittelland-Route (Sachsen-Ost)).

The surface is mostly asphalt (about 75% of the mapped surface).

For a meal: Hotel-Gasthof Zum Erbgericht (restaurant, km 23), Zum Falkenkeller (restaurant, km 56), Landgang (café, km 101) and 72 more.

Ascent
1,799 m Elevation gain is computed from a terrain model along the route line. Recordings from GPS devices can report higher values — owing to the slightly longer distance actually covered, to measurement inaccuracy, and to device-specific filtering. Differences of 10–15% are entirely possible.
