Moritzburger Ring – Around Moritzburg

The tour begins at the bike route sign in the castle parking lot, across from the Moritzburg Tourist Information Office. Follow the signs along Schlossallee, turn right onto August-Bebel-Straße into the small residential area, continue straight ahead onto Emil-Höhne-Straße, then cross the historic canal to the left and ride to Kleine Fasanenstraße, from which you reach the Großteich. Before the Churfürstliche Waldschänke, turn right and continue along the Großteich toward the Fasanenschlösschen. Go around it on the right and continue straight ahead along the edge of the forest until the next fork (Blue Gate). Here, keep left and cycle to the Radeburger Straße intersection (State Road S 81); follow this road briefly to the left, then turn right again onto Neubauernweg. Continue along the path through the nature reserve at Frauenteich, then turn right onto Kalkreuther Straße. Cycle along Kalkreuther Straße past the Bauernteich to the next fork. Keep left there onto Naunhofer Straße and after about 400 m turn left again onto the F-trail.

Follow the F-Weg for about 1.5 km through the forest, then turn right onto the X-Weg and head toward Steinbach. Ride through the village on Schlossweg and then turn left onto Dorfstraße until you reach the intersection with Mistschänkenweg. Turn right there and continue straight ahead on the path until the next intersection. Here, turn left onto the O-Weg and ride through the Neuer Anbau district to the intersection with State Road S 81. Cross the S 81 and follow the road “Zum Heidehof”/F-Weg through the forest for about 800 m. At the next fork, turn right onto LW-Weg/Sternweg and continue to the Altenteiche ponds. Take the path between the two ponds and then keep left immediately to reach Auer via W-Weg.

In Auer, ride along Siedlerweg, turn right onto the S 80 (K-Weg), and then immediately left onto Großenhainer Straße; cross the S 81 to reach the Ilschenteich. Turn left again before the pond and cycle through the forest parallel to the S 81 toward Dippelsdorf. Cross under the S 81 via Gabelweg and the St. Ullrich Tunnel, then continue along Großenhainer Straße through the rolling hills to Dippelsdorf.

In Dippelsdorf, follow the signs to the S 81 road bridge by turning left onto Kötzschenbrodaer Straße and you’ll reach Friedewald-Buchholz. Cross the town via Heinrichstraße (right), Am Goldbach (left), Professor-von-Finck-Straße (left), and through the Lößnitzgrund. After about 0.5 km, turn left onto the steeply uphill street “Am Brand.”

The route then continues via Hochlandstraße to Reichenberg, where you turn right onto August-Bebel-Straße and then left onto Gartenstraße to reach Boxdorf.

In Boxdorf, cross the S 179 and ride along Windmühlenweg, Schulstraße (left), and turn left again onto Waldteichstraße. After 1 km, cross the S 81 again and, after another 700 m, turn left onto Alte Dresdner Straße/Flügel HC, which leads back to Moritzburg.

Here, cross the train station and proceed via Bahnhofstraße to Schlossallee. Cross this and continue straight ahead at the “Goldene Brezel” inn onto Roßmarkt. Continue here to the market and, opposite Adams Gasthof, turn right into the castle parking lot to return to the starting point.
