Stay up to date! Here you will find all the important information about route closures, detour and regional special features that await you on your RockHead adventure. Whether it's capricious weather, construction work or spontaneous events - we keep you up to date so that you can pedal well prepared and don't lose any unnecessary gravel time.
We currently have the following reports:
Purple Stage (Stolpen – Stadt Wehlen) or Yellow Stage (Stadt Wehlen – Bad Schandau): Due to low water levels, ferry service in Stadt Wehlen has been suspended. Please use the ferry in Rathen to cross the Elbe. The route maps have been updated accordingly.
As of: August 14, 2026
Purple Stage (Stolpen – Stadt Wehlen): There was a rockslide at the Daubemühle in Lohmen, so the RockHead is currently impassable here. The trail is closed indefinitely. The municipality is currently reviewing how to proceed.
The detour now runs east along Richard-Wagner-Straße. There, you can cross the Wesenitz River and then follow Mühlsdorfer Straße and Daubaer Straße back to the original route. The GPX data has already been updated. Be sure to download the latest version if you’ll be riding the RockHead soon.
