The Elberadweg (Elbe Cycle Route) is a long-distance cycle route along the Elbe; as the D10 it runs for about 840 km through Germany on the left bank, from Cuxhaven on the North Sea to the Czech border at Hřensko. You ride through Hamburg, Magdeburg, Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Meissen, and finish in Saxon Switzerland. The Rickmer Rickmers lies on the route in Hamburg, and the Elbschloss stands at Bleckede. Most of it is asphalt. We know of 99 toilets and 30 bike pumps along the way, but only a handful of drinking water points.
