The region around Dresden and Leipzig will have few positive associations for many. The region is located in the former East Germany and is unknown to many. However, right across the border with the Czech Republic lies a gem for a crazy cycling holiday. The Hidden German Pearl: S\u00e4chsische Schweiz, or Saxon Switzerland, is stunning. Originally the Elb Sandstein Mountains are a real draw for tourists. Wild, natural beauty, everything there is to it. This place is often overlooked in the many \u2018you need to go here\u2019 lists.

It is the border region between Seibnitz and Bad Schandau. It eventually runs through to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/dwars-door-duitsland-iii\/\">Czech Republic<\/a>. Since it\u2019s also Switzerland, with even more beautiful things. The region is very well organized and is characterized by stunning rugged nature, beautiful views, and yet also beautiful climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lukasz-szmigiel-Z4wf3HsWu1M-unsplash-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3521\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/lukasz-szmigiel-Z4wf3HsWu1M-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3521\" class=\"wp-image-3521\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/michael-pohl-HeTzyFnKuik-unsplash-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3525\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/michael-pohl-HeTzyFnKuik-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3525\" class=\"wp-image-3525\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hanns-adrian-bohme-j8CQ35hO82I-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3526\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hanns-adrian-bohme-j8CQ35hO82I-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3526\" class=\"wp-image-3526\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/sangga-rima-roman-selia-YJQd5e7SHH4-unsplash-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3527\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/sangga-rima-roman-selia-YJQd5e7SHH4-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3527\" class=\"wp-image-3527\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basecamp Bad Schandau<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Bad Schandau, a town on the Elbe, the National Park is at your feet. From here you can start a beautiful route along the river, towards the Czech Republic, or eventually head straight into the mountains. As for cycling, it can sometimes be a bit of a struggle because many places are easily accessible by a road bike, but an unmarked stretch of gravel could still be a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you really want to enjoy the area, the gravel bike is definitely recommended. Especially if you want to go to a place like the Schrammsteinaussicht. Then throw your expensive BMC into the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/tim-wehrmann-SL4WpinLNjM-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3533\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/tim-wehrmann-SL4WpinLNjM-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3533\" class=\"wp-image-3533\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/julia-joppien-JOTyFSFLky4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3534\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/julia-joppien-JOTyFSFLky4-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3534\" class=\"wp-image-3534\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/tobias-tullius-2z6TmSRQI64-unsplash-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3535\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/tobias-tullius-2z6TmSRQI64-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3535\" class=\"wp-image-3535\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner-1024x374.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3537\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3537\" class=\"wp-image-3537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner-1024x374.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner-768x281.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner-1536x562.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Homebrew-Banner.jpg 1860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up we go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Bad Schandau, you can actually drive east towards the national park. The road up through the Kirnitzschtal is very gradual, well-maintained, and you end up at 400 meters above sea level at the Diakuppe. Just be careful of the old tram that you might encounter here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the village of Hinterhermsdorf it then gradually goes downhill towards Sebnitz. It is quiet here, hilly and wooded, and you will encounter few other people. With a nice loop you will then exit in Bad Schandau again, and with almost 50 kilometers and a total of 720 meters of elevation gain it is truly a pleasant ride.

It is a classic route to drive the entire Elbe river, but it does go a bit outside the area of Saxon Switzerland. We are going for the adventure here and we are diving into the mountains just before the Czech border to get back to German territory via Czech Republic and some unpaved hills. Admittedly, you do drive on a few stretches that are more suitable for 30mm plus tires, but still. It is so beautiful here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.komoot.nl\/tour\/587067710\/embed?share_token=aC35ZEI7XgXG9CWZwOKhBR2QhT01U2lYaKcnbNHb9nLa5PvZzr&#038;profile=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"680\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A paradise of gravel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bohemian Border Bash always takes place in this area, and since they themselves claim to have invented gravel, who are we to argue with them? And let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s still stunning isn\u2019t it?
