Overview

About this collection

A smooth point‑to‑point ride linking Braunschweig (BS) and Magdeburg (MD). Expect a mostly flat tour across northern Germany’s fields and woods with a few gentle rollers—about 106 km and roughly 650 m of climbing, rideable in either direction.

Surface is mixed: long asphalt stretches, plus ~16 km of gravel and some paving stones/cobbles. Way types lean toward farm tracks and quiet roads, with a few short busy connectors and urban sections through pedestrian areas. A touring or gravel bike with 35 mm+ tires is ideal.

Highlights at the ends: Braunschweig’s historic center and Oker river loops; Magdeburg’s Elbe riverfront and the cathedral. Between the cities you’ll roll past open farmland, patches of forest, and small towns—plenty of spots to refuel. Trains at both ends make one‑way logistics easy.

Tips: watch for wind on exposed sections, and bring lights for city bits. Good choice for a relaxed day out or a two‑day weekender with a stopover en route.
