For your 7-day location-based tour in the Dresden area

Individual arrival in Dresden. You get your bike (if booked) and important information about your cycle journey in the late afternoon. Use your time afterwards to go for a stroll through the old town of Dresden.

Alongside the Elbe and via castle Pillnitz the cycle way leads you till Pirna. Attractive is the old town with the market place and the St. Mary's Church. The Canaletto house in the town is dedicated to the painter Canaletto. Every Monday starting 14 o’clock you can take part in a guided city tour.

Serpentine ways through romantic valleys lead you to the Karl May town Radebeul. From here the Lößnitz valley train takes you to Moritzburg, where you can visit the famous moated castle. Through the protected landscape Friedewald and the Moritzburger pond area you cycle back to Dresden.

Start the day with a city tour, which will show you many sights of Dresden. The afternoon is dedicated to the wine of the region. A vintner from Dresden offers some good wines during a wine tasting to you.

On the Elbe cycle way you reach Meißen. In addition to the porcelain manufacture the cathedral of Meißen and Albrechts castle are worth seeing. This castle is said to be the first castle of Germany. A ship takes you back to Dresden in the afternoon.

Enjoy the view of the Elbe river from the bastion rocks, visit the Fortress Königstein with the wonderful panoramic view or take a short bike tour through the national park. The unique landscape has impressed generations of people!

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.

Frequently asked
questions

How does a location-based tour work?

There are places in the world of cycle touring that are just so picturesque and diverse that once you have arrived, you can't tear yourself away. They have so much to offer that you will struggle to decide which direction to cycle in first. These special spots are where we at PEDALO have created our location-based tours just for you.

Keep riding, but always stay in the same place

In contrast to staged tours and round trips, you won't cycle from place to place, and thus from hotel to hotel. Instead, you will stay in one and the same accommodation for the duration of your cycling holiday. This hotel will be the starting point for fascinating cycling excursions in the surrounding area. Every day, there will be new routes for you to explore. Every evening, you will return to hosts who put their heart and soul into their work and offer you a pleasantly cosy atmosphere with a healthy dose of class. Instead of having to pack your bags each day, you simply get to ride your bike and enjoy your holiday.

For beginners, improvers - and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air

This type of cycling holiday is designed for anyone who likes to take it easy. If you’re feeling a bit too sore for cycling or the weather isn't looking good, you can simply take a day off. Location-based tours are also ideal for first-time cyclists who may not yet know exactly how much they can or want to tackle in a day. No unnecessary stress, just pure freedom - so your tour can be all about the joy of cycling!

What info material will I receive for my bike tour?

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

Should I take out travel insurance?

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
