Bikepacking Saxon Switzerland + Packlist

Bikepacking Saxony

Here are a few impressions of our Bikepacking-Trip in Saxon Switzerland.

It was a 4 day trip in the middle of may (Temps 20°C at day to 5°C at night).

All in all nice trails and awesome landscapes.

I added a Packlist for those who are interested in.

 

Two bikes and backpacking gear in a Peugeot 206

New ideas for attaching your gear to a fully mtb

Nice campspot for the first night

Nature at its best

Bad Schandau bridge across the elbe river

Nice viewpoints all over the area

Open campspots – made for hikers or people climbing in the area, this one was nice for bouldering
