Quick ride by bicycle from Wiesbaden to Niedernhausen

This scenic cycling route kicks off in Wiesbaden, the elegant spa town nestled at the edge of the Rhine. Prepare for a little adventure as you wind your way north to Niedernhausen, a quieter village surrounded by forests in the Taunus region. The distance is just under 14 km, but don’t be fooled—it’s not all flat cruise. You’ll tackle over 400 meters of ascent (some serious leg-burner climbs), but the pay-off is rolling forest tracks and fresh countryside air.

The mix of surfaces keeps things interesting: mostly paved and asphalt, with a good stretch of gravel and a sprinkle of unpaved paths—so a hybrid or gravel bike is a smart choice. Most of your ride is on peaceful tracks and quiet roads, with barely a blip of traffic to worry about.

Niedernhausen, once you roll in, is perfect for a break. Surrounded by hills, it’s a gateway for further Taunus cycling adventures—or just chilling at a bakery to refuel. All in all, it’s a fun, not-too-long ride with just enough challenge to make the views feel earned!
