With the 9-euro ticket to Saxon Switzerland

The observant reader of my last blog series will have noticed that I did not manage to finish it. Everyday life has captivated me too much 😵‍💫 Now I'm making a fresh start and everything should be better 😄🤞

Between exams and a new job, I'm taking a short break to explore Saxon Switzerland thanks to the 9-euro ticket. The journey took about 5.5 hours. Fortunately, I was able to sit for most of the time. However, I was miles away from comfort like a table - but still better off than many others. Simply because I was able to board earlier. Yes, the train capacities are currently not designed for so many people and bicycles (🙄). On the other hand, in my opinion, every cyclist should consider whether it is possible to cycle to their destination or to travel at off-peak times when the tour starts further away.

After the public transport had brought me to the accommodation without any problems, I couldn't believe my eyes. The room is amazing ☺️ But I didn't let things slide, after all, I still had something to do. With a short sprint, I went to the ferry to Bad Schandau, where I got myself a means of transport 🚲. With that, I toured the city a little, did some shopping, and found a place for dinner.

The day ended by the Elbe, with big plans for the next morning ⛰️

In summary, the journey was less arduous than expected, but more cramped than hoped. A ferry ride is pure deceleration and truly enjoyable.
