Elster Bicycle Tour

The Elster Bicycle Tour takes you on well-maintained and asphalted cycle paths through the Elbe-Elster-Land. In the west, the tour follows the Schwarze Elster. The cycle path follows the course of the river, and the rest areas along the way provide cyclists and paddlers with information as well as the opportunity to take a break. In the north, the tour meets the Flaeming Skate. In the east, the route takes you through meadows and forests, dreamy villages and right across the Lower Lusatian Heath Nature Park.
