From Prague to Dresden

Cycle along the rivers Moldava and Elbe

The impressive city of Prague is where you start your journey through history and a lot of sights worth seeing. Dresden awaits you at the end of this beautiful tour with the Zwinger Palace, the Semperoper (opera house) and the Frauenkirche (church of ladys). Between these two cities you cycle along the rivers Moldova and Elbe, visit a lot of picturesque villages and cross romantic landscapes. Enjoy the panoramic view from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This landscape is really impressive. Maybe you’ll like the way between Prague and Dresden even more than the two cities themselves.

Sehr schöner Radweg, flussnah, tolle Städte
Der Radweg hat mir sehr gut gefallen, Start in Prag, einer traumhaft schönen Stadt, dann auf meist flussnahen Radwegen an Moldau und Elbe entlang. Unterwegs viele nette Einkehrmöglichkeiten, sehr freundliche Menschen, es hat wirlklich Spaß gemacht, dort zu radeln. Die Hotels waren durchweg sehr gut, gute Lage, nettes Personal, ausgezeichnetes Frühstück. Der Bikeline war allerdings von 2019, an einigen Stellen stimmte die Streckenführung nicht mehr.

Danke, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns eine Bewertung zu hinterlassen. Wir freuen uns, dass wir Ihre Erwartungen erfüllen konnten und Sie eine schöne Aktiv-Auszeit genießen konnten. Den Hinweis zum Bikeline nehmen wir dankend an - da müssen wir noch besser aufpassen, dass wir kein älteres Modell beim Versand erwischen!

genussvolle Radreise Prag - Dresden
Die Radreise Prag - Dresden, entlang Moldau und Elbe war ein Genuss! Es hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Der Elberadweg ist sehr gut ausgebaut und beschildert. Wir haben die Ruhe beim Fahren entlang der Flüsse sehr genossen, aber auch den Aufenthalt in Prag und Dresden. Zum Glück hatten wir in Dresden zwei Zusatznächte gebucht, so hatten wir viel Zeit, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Sie hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen! Die Betreuung durch Rückenwind war (nach anfänglichen Unsicherheiten, weil die Leihräder aufgrund unserer verspäteten Ankunft nicht direkt übergeben werden konnten) ausgezeichnet. Ein technisches Problem bei einem Rad konnte telefonisch gelöst werden. Wir waren sehr dankbar über die unkomplizierte Hilfe und Unterstützung, als eine Person krank wurde und eine Etappe nicht mitfahren konnte. Rückenwind ermöglichte die Mitfahrt mit dem Gepäckfahrer (inkl. Rad).
