Roll out of Bad Lausick and over 99.1 km of mostly paved riding, with 947 m of climbing along the way. First up is the castle at Wasserschloss Podelwitz, then the Kirstenmühle-Schanzenbachtal nature reserve and the Kohlbachtal. Schloss Rochlitz and Burg Gnandstein follow, before the Hinteres Stöckigt and Eschefelder Teiche reserves lead you past Schloss Frohburg and home.
