BIKELINE RADTOURENBÜCHER ELBE RIVER TRAIL 2PT...

The Elbe River Trail from Magdeburg to Cuxhaven is about 500 Kilometres in length  with an
additional 200 Kilometres of Alternative routes and excursions covered in this guide. An
alternative route is given on the opposite bank of the Elbe from Rogätz to Wittenberge  while
two main routes  one on each bank  follow the river from Wittenberge to the North Sea  with the
exception of the south bank by HamburgSurface quality and trafficIn Saxony-Anhalt you will
mostly be riding along small  quiet roads and good quality bicycle paths  rarely having to use
the rough  old concrete paths. The route in Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mostly runs
on asphalt bicycle paths along the Elbe dikes  with only some short sections where you must
ride with the traffic. After Hitzacker there is even a surprisingly steep section to master.
The route from Hamburg to Cuxhaven runs almost exclusively along asphalt bicycle paths and
small rural roads. Although this section is without any gradient  you will encounter increased
headwind as you come to ride directly westwards.This west wind can become a significant factor
especially as there is otherwise little elevation change along the route  even less so in the
coastal regions. It has therefore become popular to ride the route in the other direction 
beginning in Cuxhaven and riding upstream to Wittenberge or Magdeburg  even continuing on to
Prague. For this reason there is a route description in the opposite direction next to each map
in this cycling guide  as well as in the guide Elbe River Trail 1  which covers the section
between Prague and Magdeburg. This makes navigating the route in the other direection
unproblematic.
