By bicycle from Taunusstein to Wiesbaden

Ready for a scenic ride? Start your trip in Taunusstein, nestled at the edge of the Taunus mountains, and make your way south towards the elegant city of Wiesbaden. This roughly 16.5 km route is a gentle adventure—with a solid descent of nearly 440 meters, so you’ll mostly be rolling downhill as you head toward the city.

You’ll cruise along quiet country roads and well-kept tracks for most of the journey (great news for those who prefer peace over traffic), with the landscape slowly shifting from forested hills to the stately avenues of Wiesbaden. Be aware, roughly a quarter of the way will be on gravel or unpaved sections, so wider tires will make the trip comfier.

Wiesbaden, your destination, is known for its beautiful historic architecture and famous thermal springs—a perfect spot to unwind after your ride. All in all, this route combines forested tranquility with urban charm, and with the descent in your favor, you can just enjoy the ride!
