Quick ride by bicycle from Würzburg to Kitzingen

Set out from Würzburg, a city famed for its hilltop Marienberg Fortress and classic Franconian wines, and enjoy a leisurely 20 km ride southeast to Kitzingen, another wine-loving gem on the Main River. The ride mostly follows smooth, paved surfaces and quiet country roads, making for a relaxed and scenic journey through Bavaria’s rolling wine country.

You’ll tackle a couple of gentle climbs (with a total ascent of just over 220 meters), winding past vineyards and small villages—so there’s no shortage of picture-perfect spots for a quick break. With 95% of the route paved and dedicated cycleways for nearly a fifth of the ride, it’s a stress-free option for cyclists of most levels.

Finish your ride in Kitzingen, known for its crooked Leaning Tower and pretty riverside promenade, and reward yourself with a glass of local Silvaner or Müller-Thurgau. This route is all about relaxed exploration, beautiful scenery, and a taste of Franconian culture.
