Itinerary at a glance

Close to Poland, you will discover picturesque towns such as Bautzen and Görlitz and idyllic landscapes such as the Lusatian Lakeland and Saxon Switzerland. Dresden is particularly worth seeing with the Zwinger Palace and the Semper Opera House.

Arrival in Elbflorenz. Use the time to explore the beautiful Saxon capital of Dresden.

Your tour first takes you along the Elbe and through the "Dresden Highlands" via Radeberg and Pulsnitz to Kamenz. The birthplace of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing honours his famous son in the Lessing Museum and looks back on around 900 years of history.

Sorbian villages line the route through the Lusatian Lakeland. A total of 23 lakes form the largest artificial water landscape in Europe. Today's destination is Spremberg with its historic old town centre on an island on the Spree.

Bad Muskau welcomes you with the Fürst Pückler Park. The park in the style of English landscape gardens has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Take a drive past majestic trees, lakes and rivers to explore this outstanding example of masterful horticulture.

The Oder-Neisse cycle path takes you along the Neisse to Rothenburg/Saxony, the easternmost town in Germany. At the end of the tour, you will reach Görlitz. Discover the very well-preserved old town centre, which, with its numerous Baroque, late Gothic and Renaissance houses, is considered the largest area monument in the country.

The route takes you through rural Upper Lusatia, through beautiful farming villages and past monarchs' hills to Bautzen. Medieval alleyways in Bautzen's old town centre allow you to step back in time, as does the main market square with its baroque ensemble.

After a wonderful journey through the Saxon Switzerland National Park, you will reach the world-famous Bastei viewpoint in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. A relaxed ride along the Elbe to Pirna, the town in Saxon Switzerland with a marvellous old town.

Magnificent castles such as Pillnitz Palace line the route back to Dresden. Enjoy another stay in the charming city on the Elbe before starting your individual return journey, or simply opt for an extended stay in Dresden.
