    Der Elbdeich bei Werdau ist durch Schotter schlecht befahrbar. Am Bahnhof Herzberg quert die Anhalter Str. nicht mehr die Gleise, es gibt einen Radweg an der B87. Eine kurze Schotterstrecke gibt es auch auf dem Schwarze-Elster-Radweg kurz vor Herzberg durch Bauarbeiten am Deich. Auch bei 30° Hitze durch die Waldgebiete angenehme Tour.
