Bikepacking from Ulm to Ingolstadt

Get ready for a solid day in the saddle as you ride from Ulm to Ingolstadt! Starting in Ulm, famous for its stunning Gothic Münster with the world’s tallest church spire, you’ll cruise southeast into the heart of Bavaria. The route is around 163 km, mostly on smooth, paved trails and quiet country roads—perfect for soaking up gorgeous rural views without traffic stress.

There’s a good mix of gentle climbs (about 736 meters up) and even more descents (over 800 meters down), so you’ll earn some gorgeous panoramic moments but also enjoy plenty of easy-rolling stretches. Asphalt dominates the surfaces, so your tires and backside should stay happy. Just a smidge (about 8%) of the route might get a bit rustic or unpaved, so pack accordingly.

You’ll finish in Ingolstadt, a city packed with history (and yes, Audi headquarters) right on the Danube. Grab a coffee, stretch your legs, and feel accomplished—you just crossed a scenic chunk of southern Germany by bike!
