By bicycle from Tübingen to Rottenburg

This relaxed ride takes you from the charming university town of Tübingen to the historic city of Rottenburg am Neckar—a route of about 14 kilometers, most of it on smooth, paved roads. Tübingen is famous for its old town, half-timbered houses, and riverside punts, making it a lovely place to start your journey.

You’ll roll mostly along quiet roads and some country tracks; expect only minor ascents (less than 70 meters up), so it’s suitable for most cyclists. The scenery is classic Swabia: green meadows, small villages, and the distant silhouette of the Swabian Jura hills. About 97% of the route is on asphalt, with a tiny patch of gravel to keep things interesting.

You'll finish in Rottenburg, known for its beautiful cathedral and well-preserved medieval center by the river Neckar. This is an easygoing ride, perfect for a sunny afternoon outing or a leisurely day trip between two very picturesque towns in Baden-Württemberg!
