Quick ride by bicycle from Wiesbaden to Budenheim

This scenic cycling route takes you from Wiesbaden, the elegant capital of Hesse, to the charming town of Budenheim on the Rhine. Covering just under 16 km, you’ll roll mostly on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, with a few stretches of stone and concrete for variety.

Starting in Wiesbaden—famous for its historic spas and grand architecture—head southwest, winding gently downhill (with a few manageable climbs) through green suburbs and along peaceful paths. A good chunk of the ride is away from heavy traffic, so you can really enjoy the views and the fresh air.

As you approach Budenheim, you’ll get closer to the river, passing through a mix of residential areas and pretty parkland. Budenheim itself is known for its proximity to nature reserves and the Rhine’s cycling trails—a perfect spot for a riverside break before heading back or exploring further.

It’s a relaxed ride, ideal for a leisurely half-day outing, and suitable for most bikes thanks to the predominantly paved surfaces. Don’t forget your camera—there’s plenty to see along the way!
