Historic town centers

Radtouren zu historischen Stadtkernen

A collection of 14 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

Want some culture by bike? This collection takes you through charming old towns with marketplaces, half-timbered houses, city walls, and small alleys – perfect for leisurely discovery tours with café and photo stops.

Route character: mostly quiet streets and paths, with short sections through pedestrian zones and residential streets. The surface is mostly asphalt, along with some cobblestone/paving and gravel. A trekking or city bike fits ideally; gravel bikes are also fun. With very narrow road bike tires, the cobbled sections can be bumpy.

How to use the collection: Start in the city you like, combine several places for a day trip, or just roll leisurely through a historic centre. Watch out for pedestrians in busy areas, follow local rules, and push the bike where necessary.

Tip: Bring a lock for your bike, allocate enough time for museums and ice cream shops – this is about discovering, not about best times.
