Moritzdorf

After a cosy breakfast with Lars and Jenny, we were ready to go further East. Yesterday, we already cycled on some "interesting" sections on the official bike paths, but today was going to be even more special. We really learned about the nature of Saxonian bike pathes. It started with a very nice and remote path through the forest. We then hit the river Freitaler Mulde and rode along it for a while. This actually wasn't too easy at certain times due to sections that looked more like a hiking trail. In order to get to river Elbe, we then followed the bike path "Elbe-Mulde" which was quite an adventure when it suddenly led us through a grass field. However, we safely arrived at river Elbe and had a short stop to check out the beautiful city of Meißen. From there, we took some more forest trails in order to see Moritzburg castle, before heading towards a little lake in the middle of nowhere to set up our camp. It was a nice camp spot except for the malicious sand flies that bothered us all through dinner.Read more
