Dacia Outdoor Challenge Tour 1 – Gravel Bike in Saxon Switzerland

The Dacia brand has sent professional cyclist Steffi Marth and parkour ninja Benni Grams on a challenge to cross Saxon Switzerland by gravel bike. Together, Steffi and Benni ensure the paths between the sandstone rocks are exhilarating. They arrive comfortably at the starting points of this Tour in the Dacia Duster. Benni has only owned a gravel bike for a short time and is thus entering uncharted territory. Nevertheless, he arrives in style in an orange-metallic Dacia Duster with a roof rack and jumps over the car door to meet Steffi.

Saxon Switzerland is a real gem for gravel bikers. In the very east of Germany, on the border with the Czech Republic, it’s a true gravel paradise waiting to be discovered. Located southeast of the Saxon capital Dresden, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains with their bizarre rock formations have long since ceased to be an insider tip among climbers. Every year, about one million tourists storm the attractions around the Bastei, Königstein and Lilienstein.

In this Collection, we share the gravel routes that Steffi and Benni explored here. Their starting point is the small town of Wehlen, which lies directly on the Elbe River and the National Park. From here you can easily do tours on both sides of the Elbe, as there are plenty of ferries that cross the big river every 10 minutes. Benni and Steffi's routes are complemented by two wonderful Tours planned by komoot as a partner. These complete the Collection, so that nothing stands in the way of an extended stay in Saxon Switzerland.

All Tours of the Dacia Collection are suitable for everyone, whether you’re a gravel beginner or a full professional. Grab your gravel bike and enjoy the highlights of Saxon Switzerland. We hope you enjoy this Collection and get some inspiration!
