Family bike tour: Railway fun at the light railway museum and miniature park

Pirna is an ideal starting point for this short family bike tour. There you can either take the ferry to Pirna-Copitz or take the short route over the town bridge. Then follow the road to the junction to Posta. Continue on Grundstraße followed by Arthur-Thiemann-Straße until you reach Pirna-Mockethal, which is not too steep. At the crossroads, turn right onto Wehlener Straße and just 100 meters further on, turn left into "Herrenleite" and follow the cycle path along the old railroad line and the Kratzbach stream to the Herrenleite light railway museum. A visit is particularly worthwhile on the Railway Experience Days in April or on the summer train days. After the visit, the route continues towards Dorf Wehlen, past the Kamerun quarry, where sandstone is still quarried today. Shortly before Dorf Wehlen, you leave the forest and cycle briefly along a field path to Pirnaer Straße. Here you turn left down to Dorf Wehlen. During the week, open from April to early November, you should definitely plan a visit to the "Kleine Sächsische Schweiz" miniature park. When planning your tour, please note that the duration of the tour will change if you stop at the Feldbahnmuseum and/or the miniature park. The tour then continues along Pirnaer Straße, always following it to the market in Stadt Wehlen. A detour to the newly built Wehlen Castle with the Wehlen Castle children's trail is a must at the end of the tour. You can also enjoy an ice cream or a tasty snack in one of the cafés. Then take the ferry across to the other side of the Elbe and return to Pirna on the Elbe cycle path via Obervogelgesang.
