Quick ride by bicycle from Sulzbach to Niederrad

This relaxed cycling route takes you from Sulzbach, a charming small town just west of Frankfurt, into the urban greenery of Frankfurt-Niederrad. Starting at Sulzbach’s historic center (home to the scenic Arboretum Main-Taunus), you’ll wind your way southeast for a little over 15.5 km—most of it gently downhill with only 41 meters of ascent, so it’s easy on the legs!

The route is super rider-friendly, with a whopping 98% of the way paved and plenty of stretches on smooth asphalt and cycle paths. You’ll glide past quiet roads, a few paved tracks, and even some quaint sections with paving stones.

As you pedal into Niederrad, you’ll catch a more metropolitan vibe and maybe even spot some of the impressive modernist buildings that dot this district. It’s the perfect ride if you want a taste of both peaceful countryside and buzzing city life—all in less than an hour’s ride. Don’t forget to grab some coffee and cake at one of Niederrad’s local bakeries when you finish!
