Quick ride by bicycle from Stuttgart to Korntal

This ride starts in the bustling city of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg and home to both Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. From the heart of Stuttgart, you’ll head northwest towards Korntal—an independent little town that feels worlds away from the city buzz, even though it’s just over 13 km out.

Most of your journey cruises along smooth asphalt and paved paths (over 95% paved surfaces!), with just a touch of cobblestones and paving stones to remind you you’re in Europe. The elevation gain is steady but manageable—about 176 meters up, but you’ll barely notice as you weave through quiet roads, green paths, and a few peaceful residential areas.

Once you arrive in Korntal, take a stroll around its charming core—fun fact: Korntal grew as a religious community in the 19th century, and you can still feel that tranquil, historic vibe.

It’s an ideal cycle for anyone wanting to escape the Stuttgart rush for a couple of hours—and you won’t need knobby tires for this one!
