Cycle route Dresden - Saxon Switzerland
Selected alternatives for you
On both sides of the Elbe there is a cycle path into Saxon Switzerland - so it makes sense to use one side for the outbound and the other for the return journey.

From Dresden it goes in the direction of Saxon Switzerland - we take the outbound route on the left, the return route from Stadt Wehlen on the right side of the Elbe, passing the Pillnitz Castle.

A trip to the Lilienstein is a nice addition - see e.g. route https://www.alpenvereinaktiv.com/de/tour/auf-den-lilienstein/10600070/

The route is very well signposted and thus hardly to miss - and of course you can also use the GPX track for orientation :-)
