Quick ride by bicycle from Stuttgart to Leinfelden-Echterdingen

This ride starts right in the heart of Stuttgart, a city known for its rolling hills and automotive roots—Mercedes and Porsche both call it home! You'll head south, escaping the city's buzz and gradually climbing through green suburbs and patches of woodland. The route covers about 16 km, mostly sticking to blissfully quiet roads with next to no traffic and a smooth, paved surface, so it’s perfect for a relaxed spin or commuting.

Prepare for a moderate ascent early on as you climb out of the city bowl, but the effort is rewarded with gentle gradients and some pleasant descents. You’ll pass through neighborhoods and scenic stretches that showcase Stuttgart’s leafy outskirts.

Your destination, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, is known for its proximity to Stuttgart Airport and the trade fair center—plus, it’s a gateway to the beautiful Filder plateau. The town offers excellent bakeries if you need a reward at the finish. All in all, it’s a great ride for anyone looking to connect two vibrant towns while enjoying the best of Stuttgart’s suburban scenery!
